This is the moment a jubilant Noel Gallagher was pictured as he celebrated Manchester City’s win against bitter rivals Manchester United.
Noel was among the hundreds of City fans who made the journey across the city to watch the Manchester Derby at Old Trafford.
Photos from the game show the Oasis frontman with a big smile as fellow supporters turned their back to the Old Trafford turf for their famous Poznan celebration after the final whistle – with fans having performed the Poznan on every night of the Oasis Live 25 tour to Cigarettes and Alcohol.

Noel might have even more reason to smile with Oasis expected to make a major tour announcement tomorrow (September 14). Fans were teased about the announcement with a spectacular light show over Manchester earlier this week.
Noel’s attendance at the derby could add more fuel to the rumours that the brothers will be announcing a residency at the Etihad Stadium as part of the world tour. Noel is usually based in London, and the Gallagher brother’s presence in Manchester could point to what’s in store for fans tomorrow.
Music industry sources told the MEN back in July that Oasis were plotting up to 12 nights at the Etihad Stadium, as well as an epic return to Knebworth park for a record-breaking run of shows.
However illuminating teasers from the band’s have heavily suggested Glasgow’s Celtic Park will see the opening gigs next summer.
Manchester City took all three points with a 1-0 win at Old Trafford despite being a man down. Phil Foden was sent off in the first half for lashing out at Bruno Fernandes. But City were the better side after the break and took the lead through Erling Haaland just after the hour mark.
Controversy surrounded the winner as Enzo Fernandez looked to be offside in the build-up.
