UK sportsbook and casino Midnite were behind a marketing stunt at the Manchester derby at Old Trafford yesterday, handing out special edition scarves to help Manchester United mock neighbours Manchester City.

The scarves were specially designed to highlight every single one of the club’s 115 charges in their soon-to-be-decided court hearing.

City fans face an anxious wait to learn if they have been found guilty for breaking financial rules, and Midnite added fuel to the fire on Sunday. The giveway is the latest activity from Midnite, which last week was announced as the official betting and casino partner of the World Snooker Championship. Midnite also launched its first TV advertising campaign in March.

The “115” Midnite scarves had United’s famous red colours as the primary colour, with the centre of the scarf featuring a bold yellow “115” representing all of City’s alleged financial charges.

The 500 scarves were taken very quickly by Man United fans, who showed an eagerness to rub the charges in City fans’ faces.

A Midnite spokesperson said: “We caused a stir ahead of the Manchester derby by handing out special edition scarves that reminded City about their 115 charges.

“We wanted to create a keepsake for fans in attendance as City fans face an anxious wait over their alleged breaking of financial rules.”

Hello there! I'm a 21-year-old university student majoring in Finnish and Korean Language and Literature. I have a deep passion for art and a profound connection to the natural world. My journey through life has been a colorful one, driven by my love for creativity, music, and the wonders of the great outdoors. As a dedicated student, I've already earned a degree in Classic Cantos, a testament to my appreciation for the timeless beauty of classical music. Beyond the classroom, my artistic spirit thrives through my love for painting and drawing. These creative outlets allow me to express my thoughts and emotions, transforming blank canvases into vibrant stories. My interests go far beyond music and art. Singing, playing the piano, and exploring new melodies are integral parts of my life, providing me with both solace and exhilaration. When I'm not immersed in the world of art and music, I find solace in nature's embrace. My heart is drawn to animals and the serene beauty of the natural world, fueling my desire to protect and preserve our precious environment.
