Jose Mourinho was furious with the Manchester City squad because they played their music too loud.
The Manchester United boss was involved in a dressing-room clash with City stopper Ederson after his side fell to a derby defeat.
And the showdown was sparked by City blaring out post-match tunes in celebration.
When he approached the dressing room, Mourinho was confronted by the City No.1 and an argument ensued.
The pair shouted at each other in Portuguese before the situation was calmed.

The Old Trafford corridor leading to the dressing rooms became very congested as players and staff made their way through it after the game, and tensions spilled over into pushing and shoving.
City coach Mikel Arteta suffered a cut to the head in the fracas while milk and water were thrown at Mourinho.
The visitors won 2-1 thanks to Nicolas Otamendi's winner after Marcus Rashford cancelled out David Silva's opener.
Mourinho conceded afterwards that City's advantage in the title race was now at a "significant distance".

Asked if it could be clawed back, he said: "I don't know. We are going to work and fight for it. That is the only thing I say."
Mourinho complained about the late penalty decision, which saw United's Ander Herrera booked for diving after a challenge by Otamendi.
"It is a huge penalty in a crucial moment of the game," said Mourinho, who also bemoaned his side's luck.
City boss Pep Guardiola had no time for Mourinho's complaints.
"We won because we were better, in all departments," Guardiola said.
