Victor Lindelof believes that Manchester United should have been more aggressive in Sunday's loss to the Manchester City derby.
United's defender believes that United missed the opportunity to return to the match at Etihad Stadium after cutting the lead to 2-1 just before the hour.
It is instead City, the leader of the Premier League, who has gone into high gear to close the match 3-1 and give a lead of 12 points to his neighbors.
Lindelof told MUTV: "After our first goal, we could have been a bit more aggressive and tried a little more.
"After that goal, they were very nervous and we felt we could have scored another one, but they scored a third goal instead. We are very, very disappointed, because we feel that we could have scored a second goal and get a better result.
"We had a lot of ball possession, but we did not really go behind their defensive line in their last third of the field, we tried and we thought we could hurt them more.
City quickly took the lead with David Silva opening the scoring in the 12th minute and Sergio Aguero doubling his advantage after the break. A penalty from Arthony Martial gave United the hope of repeating their victory victory in the match last season, but Ilkay Gundogan ended the match after a 44-pbad move four minutes from the end .
The result broke United's momentum after a recent upswing in results. Jose Mourinho's team has won all three previous matches in all competitions, including an exhilarating victory at Juventus to ease the pressure that prevailed earlier in the season.
Due to the international break, they are now without a match until the Crystal Palace visit at Old Trafford on November 24th.
Lindelof said: "At the moment, the break has come at the wrong time because I feel like we have come a long way in the last few weeks and we have done well and played better.
"We are sad, of course, for defeat, but we know we can do good things. I can just speak for myself, but I want to play more games now. "
