City's players were celebrating their victory at the home of their rivals when United boss Jose Mourinho, on his way to a post-match press conference, entered the visiting dressing room.
It is believed that the City players were playing music, cheering and singing after goals from David Silva and Nicolas Otamendi put them 11 points clear at the top of the table.
Sources indicate Mourinho took exception, believing the celebrations to be a lack of respect, and told Pep Guardiola's men to calm down with a comment in Portuguese that sparked an ugly reaction.
Goal understands Mourinho was covered in water during the incident while City coach Mikel Arteta suffered a cut eyebrow.
