‘I am feeling bad’ – Man United’s Noussair Mazraoui expresses frustration after derby defeat

Morocco national team player Noussair Mazraoui has expressed his frustration after Manchester United suffered a 3-0 defeat against rivals Manchester City in a Premier League fixture at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

Ruben Amorim’s side fell behind when Phil Foden headed in Jeremy Doku’s cross in the 18th minute, before two second-half goals courtesy of Erling Haaland ensured that Man City carried the derby bragging rights.

“I am feeling bad,” he said to MUTV as quoted by Man United website. “Disappointed in myself, in the team, and disappointed for the fans that we couldn’t bring the performance we did lately today.

‘It was not good enough’

“If you lose and you play good, and you have the chances we created in previous games, you can take some positives. But today was just not good enough.”

He added: “It is hard to say [where specifically it went wrong] because you are always full of emotion after the game, so I always try to calm down and try to analyse the game.

“Otherwise, I will just point fingers and often it is not something I point out now, We will analyse it as a team and improve.”

United have six days to prepare for their next fixture; against Chelsea at Old Trafford on Saturday.
