London, Oct 24(ANI): Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has described Sunday's 6-1 thrashing in the Premier League clash against Manchester City at Old Trafford as the "worst result" in his time at the club.
"It's the worst result in my history. It's a terrible result, but the impact will come from the embarrassment of the defeat. There will be a response," the BBC quoted Ferguson, as saying.
It was the defending champions' first home defeat since April 2010 and ended their run of 19 consecutive home league wins.
Ferguson also believes that the loss was self-inflicted.
"It was a horrible defeat, but it was suicidal. Jonny Evans' sending off was a killer for us. At 10 men we kept attacking; it was crazy football and ended up being an embarrassment. We should have just said: 'We've had our day'," he said.
"I thought with the experience we've got - Rio Ferdinand, Patrice Evra - they would have defended more, but we just kept attacking. Sometimes there has to be common sense about it. It was a bad day," he added. (ANI)
