In full: Erik ten Hag's complete reflection of what he learned from Manchester United's 6-3 defeat against Manchester City

Following on from Manchester United’s horrific derby day outing at the Etihad stadium where they lost 6-3 to Manchester City, it’s all eyes on the Europa League for Erik ten Hag and his men.

Speaking to the media on Wednesday, Ten Hag spoke about Sunday’s defeat, but believes the side will only come out fighting after the result.

“It was a difficult day,” said Ten Hag. “We will analyse, it was a reality check, we need to learn from it and carry on.”

He said: “You will have setbacks. We beat Arsenal, we beat Liverpool, Sunday we had a bad day at the office. 

The game against Pep Guardiola’s side was the second time United have conceded four or more goals this season, having lost 4-0 to Brentford in August however, there does now seem to be more of a fight for the badge within the United ranks.

Last season, United finished 35 points behind Sunday’s opponents.

Bruno Fernandes also reflected on the loss, saying: "We had those four consecutive wins, and now we have this setback, but it hasn't changed our ideas, our way of play and what we want to do as a team.

"I think it's a process. We have had three months with the manager, the team is doing well.

"It is tough, because it's a derby, but now is the time to get back and win tomorrow."

Fernandes also confirmed reports of the meeting that the players and staff had after the defeat, and outlined one key reason for the defeat.

We had a meeting, we went to see the tough things, our mistakes," Fernandes revealed. "After the game I said, we conceded three goals on the counter against a team that plays with possession.

"We could have avoided that - we didn't. We know the mistakes and we can't repeat them."
