It was a sour end to the Manchester derby after Tim Fosuh-Mensah dislocated his shoulder in the dying minutes of the game with United dealing with attack after attack from City.
That means, it's more problems ahead of Swansea City's visit to Old Trafford with Juan Mata, Chris Smalling, Phil Jones, Paul Pogba, Marcos Rojo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic already out of Sundays clash.
It's a big blow for us definitely, but a silly red card for Fellaini's clash with Aguero was even the reason we couldn't mount even an attack with ten men.
We had to defend for large periods of the match and as Michael Carrick pointed out, it was a point that could prove important come the end of the season.
“We defended well and got stuck in, in the end a point is a point so when you look at the bigger picture of the table it could count for an awful lot.
"It’s a good point and it’s a point gained on Liverpool. There was a lot going into this game including the rivalry. It was make or break for us and for City.
“We’ve got some tough games to play and we’re in a better position now than we were at the start of the night. We can take the positives from it.”
Jose Mourinho was impressed by the fighting spirit on display and the resolute defending that ensured a clean sheet at the end.
Marouane Fellaini's moment of madness ensured he got a straight red card.
He was sad of the ever growing injury list though. "Tim Fosu-Mensah is injured," he told Sky Sports."He’s really injured in the last action of the game, in the last tackle he was on the floor, and it's also an important injury."
We'll have to recover fast with Swansea coming to town in an early kickoff on Sunday afternoon.
