Manchester United attacking midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan believed his side could have won Sunday's north-west derby.

The Red Devils forced a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford after Zlatan Ibrahimovic's late header cancelled out James Milner's first-half penalty.

However, Jose Mourinho's side were good value for a win according to Mkhitaryan who had some great chances to score himself during the passionate derby clash.

"It wasn't the right result but we were down 1-0 so it wasn't a bad result," he told MUTV.

"We could have won, we could have lost, but I think we deserved to win more because we played very well like a team and did our best to win the game.

"The score was 1-1 at the end so we were pushing up a bit, trying to find the net for the second time but unfortunately we couldn't.

"So 1-1 is not a bad result because we are still very close to the top four and we will do our best in the next games."
