Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could not fault the effort of his players as Manchester United fell to a 2-0 defeat to Manchester City on Wednesday night.

The Two second-half goals from Bernardo Silva and Leroy Sane were enough for the Blues to leave Old Trafford with three points, although the Reds rallied in the first half after a disappointing performance on Easter Sunday against Everton.

Fred and Jesse Lingard had early chances as United put the Premier League leaders under the cosh in the early stages before ultimately falling away after the break.

The  MUTV, Sky Sports and in his post-match press conference after the game, Ole was happy he saw a response from the defeat at Goodison Park, discussed the standards of the club that need maintaining and the desire to fight back against Chelsea on Sunday.

They got a reaction and, in the end, they were beaten by a better team. But they got a reaction from the fans, the players. They had a go, had efforts, didn’t hit the target too many times, but we can see the work rate and everything was there that It just wasn’t good enough.”

You can’t say that none of the players ran. Everyone was running. I don’t know the stats and all this, but you could see clearly there was an intent, there was a focus. Rashy [Marcus Rashford] had a terrific first half. He’s always threatening, he’s running in behind. That attitude of wanting to create something was great to see. Of course, they stopped him a few times. He was close today and Rashy will be important for us and he’s got the right attitude. We’ve just got to keep working on it
