Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes admits they're not at Manchester City's level after today's derb defeat.
United lost 2-0 courtesy of an Eric Bailly own goal and a Bernardo Silva effort.
Speaking after the match, Fernandes admitted his side are not on the same level as City but insisted they do have the players to put things right.
"They showed us today we are not at the same level," he admitted to BBC Sport.
"They played well, they don't give you opportunities to win the ball off them so praise to them but (our) standards need to be raised.
At the moment we are (far off the top teams). The demands on me and the players are going to be high and we have to get back to what we started to look like. We have the players to do that."
