Jose Mourinho milk throw could have been caught on VIDEO at Man Utd vs Man City
GETTY Jose Mourinho had milk thrown at him after Man Utd lost to Man City
United boss Jose Mourinho had milk and water thrown on him in the wake of City's crushing 2-1 at Old Trafford.
Express Sport understands Mourinho took exception to the manner in which Pep Guardiola's men were celebrating their win before sparks flew.
The incident would all have been caught on camera had United made a different decision in the week before the game.
City requested to film in the away dressing room on Sunday as they wanted to use the Old Trafford footage for a documentary.
That follows the signing a £10million deal for a behind-the-scenes film to be shown on Amazon Prime next autumn.
GETTY United were already accommodating 23 different TV rights holders
However, United rejected the City request meaning their cameras weren't allowed in. Subsequently, the flashpoint wasn't caught on cameras and will never be seen by fans.
Manchester United felt the tunnel area would be too cramped given there were 23 television rights holders for the game already.
They were prioritised rather than trying to accommodate cameras from a company that is not one of the Premier League's £10billion broadcast partners.
Mourinho walked to the City dressing room to ask their players to show more respect as music blared from the visiting changing room.
But a war of words ended up breaking out - with Mourinho and Ederson believed to have been yelling at each other in Portuguese as a melee took place.
