O. G. Solskjaer: "It was our best performance against City" © JumpStory

„Manchester United“ defeated „Manchester City“ twice last season in the English „Premier“ league, while the first derby of this season ended in a draw. However, despite this, the manager of the „Red Devils“, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, stated after the match that it was the best performance of his team in a derby since he took over as manager.

„It was the best performance against „City“ since I took over as manager. The results may have been better in the past, but the performances were not. I know that we beat them several times last year, but those matches were completely different. This time we were able to control the game and did not allow the opponents to create many dangerous moments.

„City“ had a couple of very dangerous situations near our goal, but David De Gea and Harry Maguire played brilliantly. We were slightly unlucky with Rashford's disallowed goal, when a penalty was awarded. We knew that „City“ would cause us problems, but I think we defended impeccably“, - said O. G. Solskjaer after the derby.
