Former Manchester United European Cup winner Brian Kidd is proud to be part of Manchester City's push to end their trophy drought.
Kidd was on the City bench as they defeated United at Wembley on Saturday.
"It is great for Manchester football," said Kidd. "I was looking round just before kick-off. I saw one half of the stadium red, the other blue. For me personally, it was a wonderful moment.
"You can have wonderful nights playing against the best teams in Europe. That is what we are striving for."
Kidd can certainly see comparisons between where City are at present at what United were when Sir Alex Ferguson started to turn them into the most efficient of trophy gatherers.
"Manchester United won the FA Cup in 1990, then the Cup Winners' Cup the following season," he said.
"They lost the league to Leeds the following year, which proved to be the prelude to what they are now.
"Recovering from that setback showed how much spirit there was at Old Trafford. I feel there is a lot of that with City."
