Both Manchester clubs headed out of the Europa League on Thursday night in a thrilling night of action.
Manchester City were knocked out on away goals by Sporting, despite a spirited comeback that saw them win 3-2 on the night as they came close to scoring the four goals in 30 minutes they needed to progress.
Having lost the first leg in Portugal 1-0, Sporting appeared to be home and dry when they scored twice through a sublime Matias Fernandez free-kick and then Ricky van Wolfswinkel to grab a 3-0 aggregate lead before half-time.
However, City fought back manfully in the second half thanks to two goals from Sergio Aguero either side of Mario Balotelli penalty. In the dying seconds of injury time, goalkeeper Joe Hart was denied by opposite number Rui Patricio and City's comeback ended in failure.
Manchester United were taught a rare footballing lesson by a rampant Athletic Club in Bilbao on Thursday, as they were dumped out of the Europa League in impressive fashion.
