From the heated matchups on the pitch to the fans&rsquo; back and forth banter, it is always a high-intensity game between the two clubs of Manchester.&nbsp;<\/p><p>The first league game between the two clubs of Manchester came in the 1894-95 season. It became a tradition to support either one of the clubs in Manchester after the Second World War. Developing a strong rivalry, the match-up has played a huge role in the football culture of Manchester as well.&nbsp;<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Wayne Rooney still owns the Manchester Derby &#128548;&#128308; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/8dylH5gpCG\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/8dylH5gpCG<\/a><\/p>&mdash; OneFootball (@OneFootball) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/OneFootball\/status\/1908791788074393687?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>April 6, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How many Manchester Derbies are there?<\/h2><p>There have been 195 Manchester Derbies played throughout history, as of April 2025.
