Scott McTominay has revealed Manchester United discussed how 'sloppy' they were in possession after Sunday's derby defeat.
Manchester City beat United 4-1 at the Etihad on Sunday afternoon. United drew level with Pep Guardiola's side thanks to Jadon Sancho in the first half but the hosts quickly regained their advantage before the Reds capitulated after the break.
After the embarrassing defeat and Arsenal beating Watford, United's Champions League hopes have received a huge blow. It has been a season to forget for United and the derby defeat was the latest humiliation in a campaign of awful results.

McTominay was the first United player to answer questions after Sunday's defeat and the midfielder was asked to explain exactly what went wrong on the pitch. McTominay delivered his verdict and revealed what was said in the dressing room.
"My point of view is we gave away the ball too much in the second half," McTominay told Sky Sports.
"Every time were gave the ball away they were just keeping it for 15 or 20 passes and then we found it difficult to get the ball back. In the first half, we created good angles, we moved the ball well and we had numerous amount of chances
"The most disappointing thing for us is how sloppy we were in the second half and that's been spoken about in the dressing room. When you come to a place like this, you know you're still at the game at 2-1, you can't give the ball away that easy
"Whenever you do that, you get punished. It comes down to individuals, it comes down to concentration, it comes down to how we deal with the expectation of playing for Manchester United and we can't continue playing
