Marouane Fellaini has rubbished suggestions that he spat on Sergio Aguero during yesterday afternoon's Manchester derby.

Footage was released following City's 1-0 victory which showed United midfielder Fellaini approach the Argentine as he laid on the ground, with some people going on to claim that it showed the Belgian deliberately spitting on the City striker.

However, the 26-year-old has taken to Twitter this afternoon to defend himself.

The press loves to invent the stories when there aren't any. Thanks the journalist. #ferity #tospit
