Roberto Mancini is confident that Manchester City will bounce back from their 3-2 home defeat to Manchester United.

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has said that his side will bounce back from their defeat to Manchester United on Sunday.

The Citizens went down 3-2 at the Etihad Stadium in the Manchester derby and are now six points behind leaders United.

"I was happy with our performance," The Sun quotes Mancini as saying. "For 20 minutes they did not touch the ball.

"They shot at goal three times and scored three goals. We are not in a good moment but this season is long, we have time to recover."

City, who won the Premier League last season, are at Newcastle United next weekend.
