Cruise in crowd at The Etihad

Actors Tom Cruise and Robert Duvall were in the crowd as Manchester United bagged a thrilling 3-2 derby win at The Etihad Stadium on Sunday. Hollywood star Cruise predicted a "great game" between the top two sides in the Premier League before kick-off - and clearly knows his football as Sir Alex Ferguson's won a five-goal affair. "This is the first game that I've seen in England," he said on Sky Sports 1. "I've been following it since the eighties so I'm just excited that I'm able to be here." The Mission Impossible actor is friends with David Beckham and he revealed the former England captain had sent him a message ahead of the game. "He wishes he was here. I got an email from him, he's jealous that I'm here," Cruise added. Apocalypse Now actor Duvall was also at the game, but appeared to be a little rusty on the rules. He said: "Will there be a shootout today? No. If it's a tie? No."
