Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits 'Manchester City are too far ahead to think about catching them' as he plays down United's title chances despite derby win cutting gap to 11 points and ending rivals' 21-game winning run

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer still feels a title challenge is beyond his Manchester United side despite the Red Devils ending Manchester City's 21-game winning run with an impressive victory at the Etihad.

A second-minute penalty from Bruno Fernandes and a rare Luke Shaw strike saw the visitors claim an unlikely three points to see them move back above Leicester and into second.

The result cuts the gap to City to 11 points, but Solskjaer believes that - despite his team's triumph and the fighting talk of Bruno Fernandes - a first Premier League crown since 2013 is slightly too ambitious.
