Since a 2-0 Manchester derby victory put United on pace for the Premier League title in 2008-09, the tables have turned, but where are the stars from that XI now?
After Manchester United beat City 2-0 at Old Trafford in 2009, Cristiano Ronaldo threw a tantrum when he was substituted before the hour mark.
Sir Alex Ferguson's side took a huge step towards the Premier League title with the win, with Ronaldo scoring the opener and Carlos Tevez scoring the second.
Ronaldo, who was set to leave United for Real Madrid in a then-world-record £80 million deal that summer, was enraged at being replaced by Paul Scholes.
Ronaldo sat at the side of the ground, stunned by the decision, before aggressively swiping aside a tracksuit top held out for him by a United backroom staff member.
Ronaldo's public display of displeasure continued when he took his place in the dugout with the rest of the subs, shaking his head in anger.
When Ronaldo was replaced, he cut a disgruntled figure.
Despite winning the league, United lost the Champions League final 2-0 to Barcelona 17 days later, in what was Ronaldo's final game before joining Real.
Although Ronaldo is back at United for a second time, we take a look at where his teammates from that derby day are now ahead of Sunday's derby at the Etihad Stadium.
