| Manuel Pellegrini pleased to leave Old Trafford with a point |
MANUEL PELLEGRINI has had his say on Manchester City's performance against local rivals Manchester United.
City left Old Trafford with a goalless draw, which was enough to overtake Arsenal to reclaim the top Premier League top spot.
Pellegrini was disappointed by the 'unattractive' displays from both sides, who recorded just one shot on target each, but is satisfied to claim a point.
He said said: "It is a good point. If you can't win, then don't lose it. People have said that we can't defend and in the second half we did very well.
"We lost so much possession of the ball and we had to concentrate. United had two late chances but overall it was close. I am satisfied with a point but I don't like to play this way."
He added: "We are back at the top of the table. It was a very tactical game. I prefer to play in another way but we defended well.
"Unfortunately for the fans it was not a very attractive game. We are two creative teams but we could not do it today."
