Man City dressing room reaction to Southampton defeat sends Manchester United warning

Manchester City immediately turned their attentions to Saturday's derby at Manchester United after their humbling defeat at Southampton, with captain Ilkay Gundogan suggesting that the 2-0 loss can be a positive turning point in their season.

City were toothless at Southampton, losing 2-0 and failing to register a shot on target in reply. Manager Pep Guardiola said after the game that the Blues have 'no chance' on Saturday at United if they repeat the same performance, and put the off-night down to a collective failure 'to be ready' among the whole squad.

Gundogan echoed his manager's assessment, saying City's attitude and desire wasn't enough to win the game, but insisted that the squad were quickly looking to the United clash to put things right.
