Former legendary Man Utd coach Sir Alex Ferguson was present in the VIP seats when Man City defeated Everton in the second leg of the League Cup semi-final on the evening of January 27.

Sir Alex smiled as he watched Man City play Everton. This is a rare occasion for the former coach to show his cheerfulness when watching football in Manchester recently. His old team, Man Utd, is currently playing inconsistently even when playing at home. |
 |
According to the Daily Mail, Sir Alex proactively contacted Man City leaders to ask for a seat to watch the League Cup semi-final. Man City immediately showed respect, arranging for the legendary coach a seat next to the team's managers. |

Man City won 3-1 in the second leg of the semi-final and reached the final with a final result of 4-3. The blue team is no longer the "noisy neighbor" as Sir Alex once commented, but has become a powerful force in English football. |
 |
Despite the score, Man City's performance was not without its flaws. The goal that made it 2-1 came from a controversial pass from Sterling to De Bruyne. Before Sterling made the pass, the ball was out of play. |
 |
On February 28, Man City will face Liverpool in the League Cup final. Liverpool are playing successfully under the leadership of new coach Jurgen Klopp. |
 |
Meanwhile, in contrast to the joy that Sir Alex had at Man City's Etihad Stadium, Man Utd fans are sad with their team because of their poor performance. Man Utd is currently ranked fifth in the Premier League, and has been eliminated from the League Cup and Champions League early. |
 |
Another thing that disappointed Man Utd fans was the team's boring playing style under coach Louis Van Gaal, which was far from what Sir Alex had commented. In his recently released book, Sir Alex described Van Gaal as a coach who always aimed for attacking football. |
