Noussair Mazraoui admitted he was disappointed with himself after Manchester United's defeat to Manchester City on Sunday.
United returned from the international break with a visit to the Etihad. Phil Foden opened the scoring in the 18th minute and Erling Haaland scored twice in the second half to wrap up a comfortable win.
The Reds have made their worst start to a season since 1992/93, when they also had four points from their four matches under Sir Alex Ferguson.
The defeat means Ruben Amorim now has the worst win percentage of any permanent United manager since the Second World War.
Speaking to MUTV, Mazraoui said: “I am feeling bad. Disappointed in myself, in the team, and disappointed for the fans that we couldn’t bring the performance we did lately today.
"That's always hard to say because, of course, you are full of emotion straight after the game. I always try to calm down and try to analyse the game, and see what went wrong.
"Because otherwise, I will just point fingers and probably, eventually, it's not even the guys or something that I point at now. I will analyse that for myself. We will analyse that as a team and try to improve."
Mazraoui continued: "We are in an important season. The start of the season still, we try to improve as a team, especially after everything that happened. But yeah, the derby makes it more special, more emotional.
"If you lose and you play good and you have the chances we created in previous games, you can take some positives. But today was just not good enough."
The pressure on Amorim increased after the Carabao Cup defeat to Grimsby Town last month, but United secured a win against Burnley before the break thanks to a late penalty.
United are next in Premier League action against Chelsea at Old Trafford on Saturday evening.
Amorim's side will then play Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium and Sunderland at home before the October international break.
