Tyson Fury has already sent brutal Manchester United warning ahead of Man City derby clash

Heavyweight world champion boxer Tyson Fury has already sent a stinging warning to Manchester United ahead of their clash with Manchester City this weekend.

Fury delivered the message after Pep Guardiola's side outclassed United at Old Trafford back in November. First-half goals from Bernardo Silva and an Eric Bailly own goal secured the points for the visitors with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side failing to land a blow on the Premier League champions.

"After today's defeat from City for Manchester CIty, it's fair to say that United are taking a worse beating than Deontay Wilder took in all of his fights versus me," the Gypsy King said on an Instagram video.

"We're absolutely getting smashed out there and I think partly it's because the players - no disrespect to any of you - it doesn't seem to me like you're digging deep to try and win these games.

"It seems to me that you're happy to get through them and whatever happens, happens. When I fought Wilder and I was on the floor, and any other man I've ever fought, I never ever believed I was going to lose the fight. I always believed I'd come back and win.

"That's called a winner's mentality, and that's something in the last few games that you guys have just not had."
