Kevin De Bruyne insists Manchester City's incredible winning run won't distract them in Sunday's derby against United.
City have defeated 21 opponents in a row since being held to a draw by West Brom on December 15, the longest streak in Premier League history and seven wins from setting a new world record.
However, De Bruyne says nobody is looking at the history books yet.
'We see City-United as a one-off, not as game 22,' says the Belgian. 'We have probably surprised ourselves with this run but never talk about the amount of games we have won. It's such a crazy schedule playing every few days, you don't get time to look back.
'When you have a record, it's nice but you don't think about it until you look back at the end of the season. It's not important at this particular time.'
De Bruyne has also highlighted the difficulty of completing a unique Quadruple despite leading the Premier League by 14 points, reaching the final of the Carabao Cup and being well set in the FA Cup and Champions League.
'We were not far away two years ago when we won three out of four, but it is a lot of games and the schedule is hectic,' he explained.
'I think people sometimes underestimate this. For example, when we went and played Borussia Monchengladbach and came back and played West Ham on Saturday afternoon, we basically had no training and just travelled and played games.
'It is not easy and other teams are very good. We try to win whatever is possible and I know people can talk about winning everything, but it is hard work!'
Surprisingly, De Bruyne has never created a goal in a Manchester derby despite being in the Premier League's all-time top 10 for assists.
'I am a midfield player and it's my job,' he says. 'I don't see myself as a top scorer. I score some goals but have always had the ability to create opportunities for team-mates at any point in my career.'
