Marcus Rashford was repenting his team’s effort in the 0-2 derby defeat on Wednesday night.
Manchester United could not hold off Pep Guardiola’s men long enough to move up in their bid for one of the Premier League top-four spots. This defeat meant the Red Devils have now lost seven of their last nine games.
“It was quite clear who the better team was,” Rashford said to Sky Sports. “We didn’t play like Man United and the last few weeks it hasn’t felt like Man United. It’s not right. The bare minimum should be to work hard and give your all for the supporters and the badge.
“It’s been a tough road to get to where we are, we weren’t expected to get to this position. But to not be putting in the performances from the beginning of January is disappointing.
“We need the mentality and willingness of running for your team.”
“Forget the league and top four, you don’t lose this game. It’s that simple as a Manchester United fan,” Rashford added. “We never call each other out but we have to be real with each other. It’s a matter of trying to improve each other.
“It’s more getting back used to doing it on the pitch. They [the supporters] know we can do it. Forget the top four and the Champions League. We have to get to the bottom of it and start playing like Manchester United, for ourselves.”
