Manchester City midfielder James Milner has hit out at the jibes from Manchester United.

United coach Rene Meulensteen claimed last week their rivals are made up of individuals who play only for themselves.

Milner told The Sun: "Look at the season we have had and winning the FA Cup last year.

"That first trophy as a group was great and you can look at games this year when we have been losing and shown character and fight.

"Even in the FA Cup game against United we were a man down and losing heavily at half-time. But we came back and could easily have got a draw out of the game.

"I cannot see a team of individuals doing that. You need that spirit, determination and togetherness to get through the low points of the season and we have done that.

"We are playing good football, had a great performance at the weekend and all season we have fought in all competitions and will do that until the end."
