Manchester City and Manchester United engaged in a tight Premier League title race during the 2011/2012 season. Manchester City strengthened their squad by signing players like Sergio Aguero and Samir Nasri, while Manchester United added David De Gea and Phil Jones. The two Manchester clubs faced off in several key derby matches throughout the season, with a 6-1 City victory early on setting the tone. It came down to the final day of the season, with City needing a win against Queens Park Rangers to claim the title over Manchester United. Sergio Aguero's dramatic late goal secured a 3-2 victory for City and their first Premier League championship.
