The video begins with United manager David Moyes experiencing his first taste of a Manchester derby, with his players and coaching staff, dressed in club suits, heading towards the dressing room.
Coach Phil Neville then breaks off to have a chat with injured City midfielder Jack Rodwell before his brother Gary, a Mail on Sunday columnist and at the game working for Sky Sports, embraces former team-mate Patrice Evra after an interview.
The atmosphere begins to build as City fan and former boxer Ricky Hatton enjoys some pre-match banter with the Nevilles and Sky Sports reporter Geoff Shreeves.
City players arrive for the match looking relaxed in T-shirts and tracksuit bottoms and captain Vincent Kompany takes time out for a pre-match interview.
Kompany then joins United skipper Nemanja Vidic in the match officials' room. City boss Manuel Pellegrini follows them in clutching the team sheet.
The players are called into the tunnel 10 minutes before kick-off and despite the hostility in the stands, the players appear relaxed as Kompany playfully ruffles the hair of United midfielder and fellow Belgian Marouane Fellaini.
The mood changes as the players return at half-time, seconds after Yaya Toure had put City 2-0 ahead.
An ashen-faced Moyes walks quickly down the tunnel as veteran midfielder and coach Ryan Giggs vents his frustration at fourth official Michael Oliver. As revealed by Sportsmail, Giggs complained about what he thought was over zealous defending by City’s Matija Nastasic by
yelling at Oliver: 'Get a grip of him. Man up and do your job.'
Chants of 'cheat, cheat' can be heard form the crowd as referee Howard Webb heads off the pitch.
But City right-back Pablo Zabaleta is oblivious to the commotion as he shares a joke with Shreeves, asking for beer to be brought to him after spotting him drinking tea, while Shreeves makes a quip about Zabaleta's love of fish and chips.
Kompany has a word with referee Webb and United keeper David De Gea greets fellow Spaniard Alvaro Negredo with a playful slap.
The second half doesn't offer any respite for United as they slip to a 4-1 defeat but Wayne Rooney still wants a momento of the occasion by swapping shirts with Negredo.
And City celebrate derby glory by tucking into slabs of pizza.
