Twitter did not take too kindly to Stuart Pearce’s combined City and United team

Oh Stuart...

Poor Stuart Pearce.

Good old Psycho just likes a bit of balance and a bit of form but he copped a load of flack for innocently picking his combined XI between Manchester United and City’s current squads.

Pearce and Tony Gale appeared on Sky Sports News ahead of Sunday’s Manchester derby and they went through both Louis van Gaal’s and Manuel Pellegrini’s squads to put together the best side between the two.

They only differed with four players but football fans far and wide took to Twitter to get at Pearce over his decisions.

Naming just one City player in his outfield though, he was never going to receive unanimous backing.
