<p>Walker initially pushed Hojlund during a challenge in the first half of the derby clash at Etihad Stadium, which angered the United forward. He confronted the City star and put his head against the defender's, who then theatrically collapsed to the turf. The referee quickly approached and flashed a yellow card to both players. In the Sky Sports  studio, United icon and pundit Roy Keane labelled Walker's actions "embarrassing".</p><p></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">"I don't know the guy and I'm embarrassed for him!" <br><br>Roy Keane is not holding back on Kyle Walker here... 😤 <a href="https://t.co/6N73pTiSTA">pic.twitter.com/6N73pTiSTA</a></p>— Sky Sports Premier League (@SkySportsPL) <a href="https://twitter.com/SkySportsPL/status/1868348841906356342?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 15, 2024</a></blockquote>

WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING

<p>Just minutes before the clash between Walker and Hojlund, Josko Gvardiol had put City in front. Kevin De Bruyne took a short free-kick and exchanged a quick pass with Ilkay Gundogan before delivering a deflected cross into the United box for the Croatian defender, who found the back of the net with a clinical header.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Pep Guardiola's City side will take in a trip to Aston Villa in their next Premier League game on December 21, while United are due to face Tottenham in the League Cup quarter-finals on Thursday.</p>
