Wayne Rooney admits Manchester United were "not good enough" in their 4-1 hammering by Manchester City on Sunday.
.
United were beaten 4-1 by Manuel Pellegrini's men, their heaviest away defeat in the fixture since 2004.
.
Rooney scored a late consolation for United - making him the highest scorer in the derby with 11 - and he was the only player absolved of blame by boss David Moyes.
.
Rooney told MUTV: "It is not good enough. We know we have to improve and stop giving these sloppy goals away.
.
"It is not nice to lose to City. It was a bad result and we are all extremely disappointed. It is nice to score but it means nothing.
.
"The most important thing today was the points and we have come away with none."
.
Next up for United are their old rivals Liverpool in the Capital One Cup on Wednesday night.
.
The Reds will be bolstered by the return of Luis Suarez, giving an additional twist to what is always a passionate occasion.
.
Rooney said: "We have all grown up, whether it is Manchester, Liverpool or somewhere else having local derbies.
.
"It is not nice when you lose one. I have been there as a fan and now as a player. Thankfully we have another massive game against Liverpool.
.
"It is the ideal game for us. Any game against Liverpool, whether it is a friendly, Capital One Cup or Premier League, is massive.

But they were good enough to beat Liverpool tonight and that's a very good thing. I wasn't expecting them to win if I must be honest!
