Manchester United ‘gave up’ during their 4-1 defeat to Manchester City.United looked competent in the first-half of the Premier League game at the Eithad, with Jadon Sancho scoring a fabulous goal to cancel out Kevin De Bruyne’s initial effort.De Bruyne got another just before half-time and this clearly had a knock-on effect in the second period.United looked less urgent and their press dropped off as the minutes went by, with City getting a further two goals through Riyad Mahrez. Following the conclusion of the game, Gary Neville and Roy Keane scorned the side for their efforts in the second half, with the former United captain saying that they had "threw in the towel".But McTominay refuted those claims, telling Sky Sports: “From my point of view, on the pitch, it's hard to see what's going on around you but if that's what people are saying then so be it."They're all entitled to their own opinion but, for myself, it's incredibly disappointing if people think that."I'll have to watch it back and see body language and things like that but, for myself, it hurts.
