Wayne Rooney admits Manchester United 'not good enough' in derby defeat by Manchester City
Wayne Rooney admits Manchester United were "not good enough" in their 4-1 hammering by Manchester City on Sunday.
United were beaten 4-1 by Manuel Pellegrini's men, their heaviest away defeat in the fixture since 2004.
Rooney scored a late consolation for United - making him the highest scorer in the derby with 11 - and he was the only player absolved of blame by boss David Moyes.
Rooney told MUTV: "It is not good enough. We know we have to improve and stop giving these sloppy goals away.
It is not nice to lose to City. It was a bad result and we are all extremely disappointed. It is nice to score but it means nothing.
"The most important thing today was the points and we have come away with none."
Next up for United are their old rivals Liverpool in the Capital One Cup on Wednesday night.
The Reds will be bolstered by the return of Luis Suarez, giving an additional twist to what is always a passionate occasion.
