Manchester City star Ilkay Gundogan has urged his colleagues to concentrate on this weekend’s Premier League encounter against Manchester United.
The German international stated this in the aftermath of the team’s elimination from the Carabao Cup after losing 2-0 to Southampton in the competition’s quarter final on Wednesday.
“Very disappointing, the result but also the performance.
“It’s definitely not what we wanted. We had hopes of going through in the Carabao Cup but with that performance there was no chance. It was not enough from us.
“There are a few things, a few things against the ball ,we were not aggressive enough, not winning duels, giving them opportunities to play.
“Especially before the derby it’s not an easy one to take, we need to get back on our route, to be humble and work hard, hopefully we can do it better next game,” Gundogan was quoted by the club website post-game as saying.
