It's unsportsmanlike only if the referee decides it is. I'm 90% sure there is no black and white rule in the book and it's up to the referee to decide if it's a foul. There are a lot of things that get left under "unsportsmanlike", which gives the referee a lot of leeway.
If you are running behind an opponent and simply say "leave it" in a really low voice, the referee will probably be hard pressed to give it. If you are running behind an opponent and scream directly into his ear and lunge at him while he's shooting or something, you will get a yellow. In general, these type of unsportsmanlike fouls have more to do with appearances than competitive advantages, in my experience.

Both are terrible options if they win it. If Utd win it "Pogba is world best midfielder". If Man City win it, "Pep is the biggest genius since Einstein" (uk media). Although i can also see by winning the league them thinking they are good enough for CL and not. Both teams need much more quality. Man City defensively, Utd i would say offensively probably need that X player signing, like Griezmann or like when they had Ronaldo. We will be hearing about their hype for months though. Almost pointless to enter any uk media websites, like bbc, sky, etc.
TBH i dont like Tottenham much either. I listen to some football podcasts from time to time, and now they are so fond of Tottenham. Harry Kane this, Pochetino that. Best playing English club....then go and crash out of europe in group and lose to Gent in EL. But hey, its Wembley. Crappy excuses.
Tottenham hype is really starting to get on my nerves regarding the epl. See, Chelsea looked in dire straits, then Tottenham-Chelsea game, and Conte still pulls a win out of that game. Media writes "Tottenham dominated and played great football". In a 38 round league, playing great doesnt matter. I understand u can appreciate Tottenham as in they arent spending as much as the other english clubs but the hype is ridiculous with them actually in recent times. Couldnt win it ahead of Leicester a year ago despite all those geniuses there and Kane best striker in the uk talk. And then they spend the money they have so dumb, like Sissoko and Jansen. Stupid signings for a team who are not in the league with the Manchesters and Chelseas.
