“It’s a bit of a waste of energy, isn’t it, willing the ball into the goal and things like that. I can’t do anything about it.
“Maybe I’ll put my phone away for a couple of hours and check it after.
“Maybe I’ll go and grab some food or whatever.”
Milner believes United will provide a stern test for Manchester City but that every remaining game will be a challenge.

“United will be a challenge, but it’s the old cliché – any game is tough in the Premier League no matter who you play,” said the midfielder.
“To try and win a league title is not easy, whoever you play.
“Trust me, I know. Remember QPR? To beat anyone is tough when it is all on the line.
“We’ve still got some tough games ourselves, and we have to win those and keep the pressure up.”
And Milner has admitted it would be hard to take if Liverpool were to lose once all season and not end up as the Premier League champions.

“I think for a long time we have had our head round the fact that we just need to win all of our games,” the former England midfielder added.
“And if we do that and it’s not good enough, you have to hold your hands up and say, ‘Well done City’.
“Of course it’s frustrating that we could have one defeat all season and it might still not be enough, but all we can do is win the rest of our games and keep putting them under pressure.”
United vs City takes place in the Premier League on Wednesday with kick-off at 8pm.
