David Silva and Sergio Aguero put the hosts in control before Anthony Martial converted a penalty to hand United hope they could rescue a point in the final half-hour.

And, after the result proved United’s pre-match worries were correct, Olly Murs feels Pogba was a huge loss for the Red Devils.Pop superstar Murs is a famous Man United fan, and he joined talkSPORT to discuss his disappointment with Sunday’s result.He told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast: “When you look at the team yesterday, I mean our starting XI against City’s…“We missed Pogba big time, and people won’t be mentioning that today. “I think we definitely missed that bit of quality in midfield yesterday; people forget we went there last season and were 2-0 down at half-time but managed to claw it back to 3-2 and Pogba was a massive part of that.“When I looked at the midfield yesterday we had [Nemanja] Matic, [Marouane] Fellaini and [Ander] Herrera.“When you compare that to the midfield they had…“We missed Paul yesterday massively, it was a big loss for us.“In the big games against the big teams you need to have your biggest players.”While Murs – who watched the match while rehearsing for his performance on Sunday’s X Factor – had few words of praise of United’s midfield, he could not stop himself raving about one of City’s stars in the centre of the park.He continued: “Fernandinho… Jesus, that guy! He is phenomenal.“It pains me to say it, but he was everywhere yesterday. He is a massive part of that team and was massive yesterday.”
