"The better team won. They were better," Guardiola told Sky Sports. "When a team is better, you have to accept it. They had the energy we didn't have, so congratulations. "They had the chances at the end, and of course, the goals we conceded were poor. We didn't control, but in general, we can talk about this action or that action. We have the duty to analyse the game in general, and they were better."
"They started really strong; we lost one or two balls. The crowd is normal because it is a derby. In many years, they have been behind them, and also with the new manager, it is normal these kind of things in the game. "We never made a threat or a cross or a movement to try and win that. It is also part of the energy, win or lose; it is about what we do with the ball as well, not just without."
Manchester United defeated Manchester City 2-0 at Old Trafford, with Bryan Mbeumo and Patrick Dorgu scoring to give Michael Carrick a winning start as caretaker manager. United dominated the match, having several other goals ruled out and striking the woodwork, while City managed only one shot on target from seven attempts. City suffered a tenth defeat to United under Pep Guardiola, the most defeats he has suffered against any club (level with Liverpool and Tottenham). City have gone four Premier League games without a win (D3 L1) for the first time since December 2024. Guardiola accepted United were the better team and cited a lack of energy and control.
