Manchester United legend Gary Neville praised their performance for defeat to Manchester City.

Neville admitted his opinion might not be shared by everyone, but the former England international felt the Red Devils played as well as they could have with their current crop of stars.

“I think tonight, I thought it was a decent performance from United," Neville said.

“I know that might not be agreed with.

“City were the far better team in the end but I actually think that's probably as good as that team can play.

“They would win a lot of games if they played like that, United, against the other opposition.

“Obviously not Man City, that was the difference in quality."
