NOEL GALLAGHER joked his “heart is full of pride” after his son was seen putting the middle finger up at Manchester United fans at Old Trafford on Sunday.
The Oasis star watched his beloved Manchester City beat rivals United 1-0 alongside sons Donovan, 18 and Sonny, 15.

The group watched Erling Haaland net a controversial winner and Gallagher’s youngest Sonny made headlines for flipping off United fans while in the away end.
And Gallagher said he was feeling like a proud father after Sonny’s gesture caused a stir.
He told talkSport: “There comes a point in your time as a father where you look at your children and you think, ‘My god, I brought you up well’ – when they feel it as much as you do and when they get it.
“Let’s not forget, when you’re in that away end and the United fans are in front of you, they’re giving it to you as much as you’re giving it to them.

“But he made the newspapers today and my heart is full of pride for my sons who got stuck into it yesterday and got stuck into the United fans as well.”
He added: “Ordinarily I wouldn’t [go]. I don’t like going to Old Trafford because it can get a bit spicy getting in and out, but they were there.
“They were so keen to go because they’d never been, so I went for them really and they got stuck into it big time and it was a great, great day.”
City pulled off their unlikely win with ten men after Phil Foden was sent off in the first half for lashing out at Bruno Fernandes.

Haaland’s eventual winner will go down as one of the most contentious VAR decisions after looking well offside.
He was played on by the boot of Patrick Dorgu but the Pro Ref have now admitted the goal should have been chalked off.
That’s because Enzo Fernandez – who was in an offside position – was interfering with play.
But Gallagher didn’t care one bit despite thinking the goal was going to be ruled out at the time.
He said: “Obviously we celebrated like made for about five seconds [after Haaland’s goal which was initially disallowed for offside]. We thought he looked offside even this morning.
“The fact that has gone our way [and] our whole strategy with 10 men is unbelievable.”
