Man City fullback Zabaleta: We kept Di Maria quiet

Manchester City fullback Pablo Zabaleta felt Manchester United winger Angel di Maria struggled to make an impact on Sunday.

Zabaleta felt he had the better of his countryman for City's 1-0 win.

"I think he was quiet," Zabaleta opined.

"I said in midweek he is the main player for United now. He's the player who can make a difference but I think we pressed him.

"Clichy was fantastic against him in the second-half. He played in the first half on my side and I think defensively we were solid."
