Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba insists they can beat Manchester City without him on Sunday.
Pogba is banned from the game after being sent off in victory over Arsenal.
He said: “I have complete trust in the team. Even if I am not there, I will be there watching the game giving positive energy and hopefully we are going to win.
“Manchester City against Manchester United has always been a big, big derby. One city, two clubs.
“It's going to be a big atmosphere in the stadium and a big game with a big team and big players so that's the game you want to play.
“To win these games you need to give everything.
"You need to be there offensively, defensively, kill the game when you have one chance because they are City and they have quality as well up front and they can kill the game at any time.
“We want to win, we need to win as well."
Asked if he still believes they can catch City Pogba said: “If I don't believe I stop playing football now."
