Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes admits they played too deep at times during defeat at Manchester City on Sunday.

Fernandes laid on the opener scored by Marcus Rashford before City took control to win 3-1 on the day.

"I think the commitment from the team was there," the captain told Sky Sports.

"We had our chances. Sometimes we played a little too deep but you know City do that to all the teams, you have to defend your box and we did that really well in the first half. From a chance that could be ours it ended up 1-1.

"There's always something more you can do in the game, if it is City or someone else you can always do something better. City are a team that knows how to have the ball and pin teams back.

“We knew we had to defend our goal really well and I think we did, we should have had more spells with the ball than we did in the second half."

He also said: “Every time you don't win a game it is a damage at this club.

“We know what this club demands and we want to win the games we are involved in. We didn't get the three points today but there's still a long way to go.

Bruno battles for the ball with City's Julian Alvarez in the second half.

“We know it is not everything in our hands because other teams have to lose points but we have to do our job."
