The Scot says he has told his players he expects a
much better performance with a visit from
Liverpool in the Capital One Cup up next for the
stuttering champions
Manchester United manager David Moyes says he is
expecting a reaction from his players after losing 4-1 to
neighbours City in the derby.
The Premier League champions slumped to their
second defeat of the season at the Etihad Stadium and
Moyes revealed he had informed his team of just how
disappointed he was by their performance.
"I’ve made them aware of that," he told reporters. "But
if there is ever was a group of players I’d expect that
from it would be a group of Manchester United players.
"I think the way they have been brought up, the way
they have been bred with the manager previously, they
react, that’s what they do, and that’s what we’ll do here.
"We’ll make sure we react. Every manager has bad
results. I’m no different."
The Red Devils face Liverpool next in the Capital One
Cup on Wednesday, having already lost to Brendan
Rodgers' men in the league this season, and Moyes
wants a better performance from his side at Old
Trafford.
"I’ve been here before with Everton and never suffered
a defeat like this," he added.
"So I just told the players, in the same way I would
have told players at any other club, if I don’t think
they’re doing it.
"They’re good players, they’re good pros, they know
when they’re bang at it and when they’re not.
"City were the better team, they were stronger, they got
control of the game and we found it difficult to contain
them.
"I’m disappointed we didn’t perform. There was no
reason for us not to perform, but it was one game.
There’s plenty of time to come.
"We were second to things, in the first-half especially.
We seemed to be a yard behind it and never got to the
pace of the game right from the off.
"We had a good result in midweek and we wanted to
build on that, but we never got to grips with it."
