Man Utd fan designs derby programme


With over 450 designs submitted via Twitter, the club narrowed down the selection to two before inviting Twitter followers, including Gary Neville, to pick their favourite

Manchester United have picked a fan-made programme cover for the 170th derby clash with Manchester City on Sunday.

Over 450 submissions were made by fans, with the club narrowing down the designs to a final two before inviting Twitter followers to vote for their favourite.

A number of famous fans, former players and regular punters - including the likes of Quinton Fortune, Gary Neville and Olly Murs - picked their favourite before Harri Lyons's design was chosen for the landmark derby.

United Review editor Paul Davies told the club's official website: "Harri's design is distinctive, modern and gets across the Red/Blue divide while putting emphasis on Old Trafford, Sunday’s game and derby day.

"The vibrant colours and contemporary feel are a reminder of how relevant a football city Manchester is right now."
