What were the key moments in the Manchester derby?
Goalless in the Manchester derby and here's something of a mutual appreciation society. Certainly Guardiola was glowing about Michael Carrick in the week. Perhaps Carrick more happy with his night's work than Pep. Here's with Geoff Shreves.
Michael, in the context of the game, is that a really good battling point for United? It is in the end, yeah. I think it's a point gained for us. We would love to come here and win the game. We aimed to do that at the start of the game. We thought we could catch them on the break. We did have a couple of chances, but we obviously had to defend for large spells of the game. But I thought overall we'd done that very well. Apart from the end when there was a bit of excitement and a bit of a flurry at the end there, I thought we'd seen the game out very well. Did it make it an even better point, the fact you did go down to 10? It always does, I think, yeah. Obviously, it makes things a bit more difficult when you go down to 10.
I know there wasn't too long left, but then when six minutes goes up, it's an awful long time to see how... But we managed to do that before we did it. Intelligent, done it well. It's a point, you know, it's tight up there, where we are at the moment, it's very tight, and it's a point that we can take from the game and move on. And the fact that it's still in your hands as well to finish in the top four, that also makes it an extra good point. Well, of course, yeah. I think a lot of people made out before the game between us and City, but there's a bigger picture than that at the moment. Obviously, Liverpool are in that mix as well, and at the moment we're in a decent position. There's a lot of work to do, though.
So you're having warm words with Pep at the end. What was he saying to you? Because he praised you in the week, saying you were one of the best he's ever seen. Yeah, nothing, mate. It's just congratulations and well played. He's obviously a terrific manager, and he's had success wherever he's been, and I've got a lot of respect for him.
How did Manchester United manage to secure a draw against Manchester City?
It was a nice sporting moment. Thanks, Michael. Cheers. Thanks, Geoff.
But no goals at the Etihad. One red card, that from Marouane Fellaini, his fourth in English football, second... Sorry, first for two years. 19 attempts from Manchester City, nine of those from Sergio Aguero. So he had three times more than Manchester United managed. They managed just one on target. Let me draw your eye to the possession. Manchester United with 31%. That is a new record low since Opta started recording the data way back in 2003, beating the previous low of Red Monday when they went and did a similar job at Anfield. So, Thierry, is that a job well done then for Manchester United?
Well, I guess that's what they wanted to do. I mean, Michael Carrick said that they wanted to get them on a break. They obviously didn't have possession. We said that at the beginning of the game. I kind of thought that maybe Jose Mourinho was going to do something that we didn't expect, but we expected that. And, well, they got a point. Very important. We all know that they have to go at wide-out lane. They have to go still at the Emirates. I just thought that the game wasn't a great game of football, but a very important point for United.
Were you surprised, Frank, by how little attacking threat Manchester United show? This is a manager that you've played under for so long.
Slightly surprised. As Thierry said, I think we did feel that he was going to defend deep and sit behind the ball. They did it more, I think, than we imagined. The first 20 minutes had a couple of opportunities, but they definitely played for that. I mean, they never overcommitted players at any stage.
What impact did Marouane Fellaini's red card have on the game?
I think Martial played like almost a left back at times. an 80% left back. He wasn't sprinting everywhere. I think I'll give real credit to the midfield. I won't give credit to Fellaini for what happened at the end, but for Herrera and Michael Carrick, they worked their socks off. The back four shuffled side to side. They dropped very deep. It wasn't a one for the purists, but they played for it.
