"They had something we didn't have. We always talk about the energy we need. It's related to how you defend, some moments, some duels and some situations, but also with the ball. It's my 27th derby, I came here many times and [today] we were not at the required level to win this type of game. We try, we talk about that but we had that energy four days ago at Newcastle."
"United scored twice in the second half through Bryan Mbeumo and Patrick Dorgu, and they also had three goals ruled out for offside, hit the woodwork twice and forced visiting goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma into a string of saves. The hosts could have been reduced to 10 men inside the first 10 minutes when full-back Dalot caught Jeremy Doku in a knee-high challenge with his studs. Referee Anthony Taylor brandished a yellow card for the Portuguese and the decision was supported by the video assistant referee (VAR)."
