`` There might come a time in your own life where your own music you do n't really listen to @ @ @ @ @ into your old age and you want to be very comfortable .
You want your @ @ @ @ @ '' he says .

Sir Barry Gibb: 'Christmas songs haven't been appropriate for 50 years' Published 11 December 2020
Image source, Getty Images Image caption, Sir Barry Gibb says Christmas songs are a "marketing trick"
The Bee Gees are members of the Songwriters Hall of Fame. In 1978 seven US number one singles were written by Sir Barry Gibb. However, one thing they never did was compose or release a Christmas song.
The one surviving member, Sir Barry, says that was deliberate. "We've always avoided it. I think it was appropriate maybe 50 years ago. These days I think it's too much of a marketing trick."
Their 1969 top 10 single First Of May did start with the line: "When I was small and Christmas trees were tall," but it was released in February and is about longing and regret, rather than festive cheer.
The closest the Bee Gees came to a Christmas release was when at the peak of their fame, in the festive period of 1978, they made a "Fan Club Only" seven-inch single.
Image source, Michael Ochs Archives Image caption, L-R: Robin Gibb, Sir Barry Gibb, Maurice Gibb
The A-side featured a seven-minute message from the trio "welcoming all their new fans", reading out the track listing for their forthcoming album Spirits Having Flown, and talking about their love of sailing.
It ends with an impromptu acoustic version of Silent Night, but in no way can it be classified as a proper Christmas release.
"Robin did have a Christmas album," admits Sir Barry, referring to his brother's final studio album My Favourite Christmas Carols, released in 2006. "But I wasn't involved with that," he adds.
Barry Gibb's dislike of Christmas songs is one of the things we learned from his interview with BBC Breakfast. He was speaking from his home studio in Miami ahead of the release of a new feature length documentary The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend A Broken Heart.
The film covers all aspects of the Bee Gees career; from the brothers being born on the Isle of Man, growing up in Manchester and then moving to Australia, before becoming pop stars in the 1960s and then reaching new levels of fame with the advent of Disco.
It also deals with the lows; power struggles, drug problems and premature deaths.
Sir Barry's dislike of Christmas songs is just one of the things we learned from his interview with BBC Breakfast, which will be broadcast on Saturday.
Here are five other things we took away from the chat.
1. People still invade the garden of his Miami home
Image source, Getty Images Image caption, The success of Saturday Night Fever drove fans to Sir Barry's Miami home
Sir Barry has lived in Miami since 1975, when Eric Clapton suggested the group relocate there. After the success of Saturday Night Fever he would wake up to find fans on his lawn.
"It got to the point where people were climbing over the walls and coming into your grounds," he reminisces, before pausing and adding, "Actually that still happens, but for different reasons.
"There are people that walk in under the impression that the house is for sale. Our house is probably the best position on the bay, so you get unusual people with lots of money who say, 'We'll buy your house'. I go, 'It's not for sale!'"
2. Boyzone are the best
Image source, Getty Images Image caption, Boyzone's version of Words is Sir Barry's favourite Bee Gees cover
Elvis Presley, Al Green, Diana Ross, Dolly Parton, Barbra Streisand - just some of the hundreds of acts who have sung songs written by the Bee Gees. Sir Barry's thoughts on who has done the greatest version of one of their songs might raise eyebrows.
"I would say Boyzone is my favourite," referring to their 1996 cover of Words, which gave Ronan Keating and the boys their first UK number one.
"And Take That's How Deep Is Your Love is special to me because they are really nice guys and for them to do that was a great compliment."
3) Steven Spielberg is on board for a Bee Gees film
Image source, Getty Images Image caption, Could Steven Spielberg make a hit Bee Gees film?
After the success of Rocketman and Bohemian Rhapsody, next up is a Bee Gees film.
"Everyone is in place," Sir Barry confirms. "Mr Spielberg, Paramount, the Murdoch sisters are all investing in that film.
"It could be a couple of years away. It's the same guy who made Bohemian Rhapsody, Graham King, so he knows how to put it together."
It has been suggested that Bradley Cooper would be a good choice to play Sir Barry, but he is not so sure.
"I don't think Bradley has ever considered anything like that, but I know that if I'm involved enough with the writer I can really bring out and depict my brothers' personalities better than anyone else."
The new documentary details the internal band battles, the mega levels of success, the disco backlash (which in 1979 culminated with disco records being blown up on the field before a Chicago White Sox baseball match - which then had to be postponed) and the premature Bee Gee deaths - a combination that would certainly provide a dramatic narrative for a film.
4) Sir Barry will not be doing a Bob Dylan… just yet
Image source, PA Media Image caption, Bob Dylan has sold his back catalogue, worth anything between $200m and $450m (£150m - £340m)
This week Bob Dylan sold his back catalogue of songs to Universal, a collection worth anything between $200m and $450m (£150m - £340m). Sir Barry was very interested in the news.
"There might come a time in your own life where your own music you don't really listen to. You want to survive into your old age and you want to be very comfortable. You want your family to be comfortable," he says.
"You don't want to be short of money if that's the case. And really, I'm sure Mr Dylan has come to that conclusion over the years. I think he's a few years older than I am." (Sir Barry is 74, Dylan is 79.)
And will he be following suit?
"Maybe in a couple of years. I'm not ready to give up on making records and writing songs. The closer I get to 80 though... That's like a ringing bell, I'm telling you."
5) He's teamed up with Dolly Parton - again
Image source, Getty Images Image caption, Dolly Parton has worked with Sir Barry on his new album
In 1983 Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers had a worldwide hit with Islands In The Stream, written by the Bee Gees (although interestingly, it was originally intended for Marvin Gaye).
In January, Sir Barry will release his new album Greenfields: The Gibb Brothers' Songbook, Vol. 1, for which he went to Nashville to work with some of the biggest names in country, including Parton, asking each to record their favourite Bee Gees song.
"Dolly Parton stood in the same spot at RCA Studios and told me, 'This is where I stood when I recorded I Will Always Love You and Jolene in the same afternoon'. That's exhilarating."
And Parton's choice of Bee Gees song to record? Words. We hope he didn't tell her he prefers the Boyzone version.

bbcuk--2020-12-11--Brexit: Will you still be able to take your pet to Europe? And other questions

How will travel abroad with pets be affected ?
- Bob Stenson , West Worcestershire The government says you should contact your vet at least four months before travelling .
So , if you 're planning to travel in the first few months of 2021 you may already be too late to start the process .
If the UK is not added to the scheme , and is `` unlisted '' , then any pet travelling to the EU would need to be microchipped and vaccinated against rabies , confirmed by a blood test 30 days later .

Brexit: How will it affect my holiday to Spain? And other questions Published 30 December 2020
The UK and European Union have reached a deal on their future relationship.
Here are some of your questions about how it could affect the way we live and work.
How will this affect my family holiday in Lanzarote in February? Our passports have two years before they expire - Anthony Bonds, Erith
Your passports will be valid as long as they are less than 10 years old and it is at least six months before they run out.
However, you could face other travel restrictions. From 1 January, the UK will no longer be treated as part of the EU and British travellers may not be able to visit member countries except for essential reasons. That's because of coronavirus restrictions placed on travellers from most non-EU countries, although they may have changed by February.
If you can get in, there may also be other documents you need, if you are planning on driving, for example.

There are other coronavirus restrictions. Currently, passengers arriving into the UK from the Canary Islands must quarantine for 14 days.
However, those arriving in England will be able to pay for private testing and reduce their quarantine time, if they test negative five days after their arrival.
We are British citizens and also have a house in Spain. How will Brexit affect our ability to stay extended periods there? - Tom Ferguson, Nottingham
Under the rules of the deal, UK citizens will only be able to holiday in Spain or most other EU countries for a maximum of 90 days in any 180-day period.
The exceptions are Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus and Romania, which will not limit visits in this way.
If you want to stay in Spain for longer than 90 days out of 180 then you will need to apply for a visa - that also applies to second home owners.
Image source, EPA
However, due to concerns over the new variant of coronavirus, Spain has shut its borders to UK travellers until 5 January, unless they are a Spanish national or resident.
What will the UK relationship with Europol be? - Craig, Edinburgh
The UK will not be a member of the EU's law enforcement agency, Europol, which helps member states and others co-operate to combat terrorism, cybercrime and other serious crime.
The UK will have a presence at Europol headquarters like the US does, but it will not have a say in the agency's priorities.
The UK is still part of an ambitious plan to link DNA and fingerprint systems, but it will have to unplug its connection to an enormous real-time database that shares alerts on wanted or missing people and it will have limited access to the EU's database on air travellers.
There have been warnings that having to send requests for database information instead of having direct access will lead to delays.
How will travel abroad with pets be affected? - Bob Stenson, West Worcestershire
Pet passports issued in Great Britain (though not Northern Ireland) will not be valid for travel to the EU from 1 January 2021. Instead, the EU has agreed that pets arriving from Great Britain will need to have an animal health certificate (AHC).
Image source, Getty Images
AHCs will be issued by certified vets. They will be valid for four months and must be obtained at least 10 days before travel.
They will be valid for a single trip into the EU, onward travel within the EU and re-entry to Great Britain.
To get an AHC, your dog, cat or ferret must have been microchipped, had a rabies vaccination, and been treated against echinococcus multilicaris (a type of tapeworm).
Pets travelling from Great Britain will need to have an AHC to enter Northern Ireland.
However, pets travelling from Northern Ireland will still be able to use the EU pet passport to travel to the EU or Great Britain.
How will the new Brexit trade deal affect the financial services industry? - Dave Porter, London
The trade deal concentrates mainly on the sale of goods, and it does not do much to help UK financial services companies access EU markets.
Businesses will not have the automatic right to offer their services across the EU, as they did when the UK was a member state.
Instead, they will have to rely on decisions that their regulations have "equivalence" with (are as good as) those in EU member states. Equivalence decisions may be withdrawn with 30 days notice and they exclude some core banking services.
The EU has also said that equivalence decisions will not be made before January.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson told the Sunday Telegraph that the Brexit deal "perhaps does not go as far as we would like" for financial services. The government says in the next few months, the UK and the EU will try to agree more details on how the relationship will work.
The trade body for financial services, UK Finance, welcomed the deal saying it "brings much-needed certainty for businesses", but added that "it will be important to build on the foundations of this trade deal by strengthening arrangements for future trade in financial services".
Is the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) coming to an end, and how will people with pre-existing medical conditions be affected? - Geoffrey Trebilcock, Cornwall
The EHIC entitles EU nationals to state-provided medical treatment if they fall ill or have an accident in any member country, as well as in Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein.
The government says that all EHIC cards will remain valid until their expiry date, which is printed on the card.
After that, the UK will issue a new card called the UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC), but there are no details yet on how it will work or how to obtain it.
Like EHIC, the new card will cover chronic or existing illnesses and routine maternity care, as well as emergencies.
The Brexit agreement says any specialised treatment, such as dialysis or cancer treatment, "must be subject to a prior agreement between the insured person and the unit providing the treatment" to ensure the treatment is available.
The government's advice, however, still says you should buy travel insurance with healthcare cover before you go on holiday.

Brexit trade deal: What do WTO rules or an Australia-style relationship mean? Published 13 December 2020
Image source, Getty Images
With time running out for the UK and EU to reach a trade agreement - and with the prospect of no deal looming - the government has been talking about an "Australian-style" relationship with the EU in the future.
Boris Johnson has frequently mentioned Australia, and has also said the UK should "get ready to trade on WTO terms".
Whichever form of words you use, they are euphemisms for the same thing: a no-deal outcome.
Australia trades with the EU under the basic rules of the World Trade Organization (WTO) because it does not currently have a free trade agreement with the EU. But it is trying to negotiate one.
"Australians wouldn't regard our trade relationship with Europe as a satisfactory one," the former Australian prime minister, Malcolm Turnbull told the BBC. He warned the UK to"be careful what you wish for".
So how does Australia trade with the EU?
Under WTO rules, tariffs (or taxes) are automatically applied to the trade in goods between Australia and the EU.
But even though there is no overall free trade deal, the two sides do have a series of agreements on things like wine exports and product standards, which make trade a little easier.
If the UK's talks with the EU were to break down abruptly, the UK would not have any such agreements.
With no deal, in other words, the UK would be facing an even more limited trading relationship with the EU than Australia has (the strictest limits would be on trade involving Great Britain - Northern Ireland would be treated differently).
On top of that, it is important to remember that trade between Australia and the EU is very different to trade between the UK and the EU.
Australia is on the other side of the world, whereas the UK is the EU's next-door neighbour. That means Australia doesn't do nearly as much trade with the EU as the UK does.
And it doesn't rely on the EU, in the way the UK does, for the operation of just-in-time supply chains in sectors such as cars, pharmaceuticals and food.
So, border checks and delays - which happen much more when you don't have trade deals - have far less impact on EU-Australia trade than they would on EU-UK trade.
Even so, Australia is trying to upgrade its relationship with the EU - the two sides have been negotiating a free trade deal since 2018.
Mr Turnbull told BBC Question Time, "Australians would not regard our trade relationship with Europe as being a satisfactory one...there are very big barriers to Australian exports of agriculture products in particular and a lot of friction in the system in terms of services."
How does trade between the UK and the EU work now?
The EU is the UK's biggest single trading partner. In 2019, it accounted for:
43% of UK exports
51% of UK imports
As an EU member state, the UK was part of its trading system - the customs union and the single market. This means there are no tariffs on goods, and minimal border checks.
Because of the post-Brexit transition period, the UK is still in this system until the end of December.

Both sides have until then to reach a new free-trade agreement, which would get rid of tariffs and quotas (limits on the number of goods traded) but not new border bureaucracy.
If they can't, then they'd have to trade on WTO rules - as Australia does.
What is the WTO?
The WTO is the place where countries negotiate the rules of international trade - there are 164 members and if they don't have free-trade agreements with each other, they trade under basic "WTO rules".
Image caption, The WTO headquarters are in Geneva
Every member has a list of tariffs and quotas that they apply to other countries with which they don't have a deal. These are known as WTO schedules.
Don't other countries trade with the EU on WTO rules?
Yes, examples include the United States, China and Brazil.
In fact, it's any country with which the EU has not signed a free-trade deal. That's when WTO rules kick in.
But, like Australia, those big economies don't just rely on basic WTO rules - they have all done other deals with the EU to help facilitate trade.
The US, for example, has at least 20 agreements with the EU that help regulate specific sectors, covering everything from wine and bananas to insurance and energy-efficiency labelling.
Why is the government talking about Canada?
The government has said repeatedly that it wants a free-trade deal along the lines of the one the EU has with Canada.
But the UK and the EU have been trying to negotiate an agreement that would have no tariffs or quotas at all.
This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Media caption, Confused by Brexit jargon? Reality Check unpacks the basics
Whereas the EU's deal with Canada does include tariffs and quotas (on some agricultural produce for example) and it had to be negotiated line by line over a long period of time.
What happens if there's no trade deal?
Under WTO rules, tariffs would be imposed on all imported goods, apart from in Northern Ireland, which is subject to a separate agreement with the EU.
The average EU tariff is pretty low (about 2.8% for non-agricultural products) but in some sectors tariffs can be quite high.
Cars coming from manufacturers in the UK would be taxed at 10%, with some agricultural tariffs even higher - rising to an average of more than 35% for dairy products.
This would have a big impact on some UK businesses selling their goods to the EU.
What would the UK do?
The UK would do the same, and impose its tariffs on imported EU goods which would have a big impact on some European companies.
The government has already released details of the tariffs it will charge from January 2021 to countries with which there is no free trade deal.
In some areas, they will be imposed to protect British producers - in the car sector, for example, and on most agricultural products, to avoid "additional disruption for UK farmers and consumers". That will lead to higher prices in the UK for some EU goods.
But the government is also removing some of the tariffs it has been charging as part of the EU - in areas, for example, where there isn't that much domestic UK production that needs protecting.
Here are some items that are having their tariffs cut to zero.
It's important to remember that the WTO's "most favoured nation" rules limit room for manoeuvre in the event of no deal.
The UK couldn't for example lower tariffs for the EU alone, in order to keep trade going. It would have to treat the rest of the world in the same way, which could lead to cheap imports flooding the UK economy, and harming domestic businesses.
Non-tariff barriers
It's not just about tariffs - there are also what are called "non-tariff barriers". In many areas of the economy they are far more important.
Non-tariff barriers include things like product standards, safety regulations and sanitary checks on food and animals. Many of them will apply with or without a deal, but businesses that trade with Europe fear that no deal in particular would lead to lengthy delays and extra costs.
Eventually negotiations on some kind of deal would have to begin again, but that could take some time.
What about services?
All of this refers only to the trade in goods.
The trade in services between the UK and the EU is also of critical importance. The kind of trade deal the two sides have been trying to negotiate wouldn't say very much about services anyway.
But no deal would be an even greater challenge.
And companies on both sides would be having to adjust to an abrupt change at the same time as trying to deal with the impact of coronavirus.

Joshua finally saw off the game Pulev with a hard right hand in round nine
Unified world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua mixed power and patience as he knocked out Kubrat Pulev to raise hopes that a historic fight against Tyson Fury could soon be a reality.
The Briton smashed home a hard right hand in round three that forced his mandatory challenger to face a count and then sent him to the canvas with an uppercut seconds later.
Joshua, perhaps fatigued by the chaos, stepped off the gas and allowed Pulev to at least offer some mild threat, but a barrage of uppercuts in the ninth dropped the Bulgarian and a straight right hand wiped him out.
Moments after this fine blend of poise and heavy punching, the 1,000 fans granted access to Wembley Arena roared at the prospect of the IBF, WBA and WBO champion facing WBC title-holder Fury next.
"Whoever has the belts I want to compete with. If that is Tyson Fury, let it be Tyson Fury," said Joshua, 31.
Fellow Briton Fury quickly went on social media and posted: "I want the fight. I want the fight next. I will knock him out inside three rounds. I can't wait to knock him out."
Patience, power and uppercuts
Anthony Joshua beats Kubrat Pulev and looks ahead to Tyson Fury fight
Joshua, in a white sleeveless hoodie for his ring walk, was smart from start to finish on a night when the widespread anticipation of a fight with Fury - in which all four world heavyweight titles could be contested for the first time - dominated the narrative.
In his past two outings, Joshua has stood up to immense pressure. A second defeat by Andy Ruiz Jr in December would have left his career in tatters. He was punch perfect on that night.
A loss on Saturday would have made him the instant fall guy amid public demand for the Fury bout. Once again he was emphatic.
He found his range early on with flicked jabs as 39-year-old Pulev boxed cautiously and struggled to throw anything fast or crisp.
When the challenger did throw a jab in the third, a counter right landed on his jaw and stunned him. Pulev briefly tried to smile and roar in the face of adversity but eventually turned his back while under attack and faced a count. In a frenzied spell, an uppercut then sent him to the canvas before the round was out.
The pair punched one another after the bell, exchanged glares before the fifth and, while Pulev gained at least a footing in the following rounds, he was never able to land anything that would allow him to dictate.
Some will ask why Joshua was unable to end things more quickly, but after a year out of the ring, he controlled a fight against a man who had just one loss - to Wladimir Klitschko - on his record.
He could not miss with the right uppercut all night and the shot dropped the game Pulev in the ninth, before a jolting straight right to the chin left him unable to answer the count as the champion swaggered away, aware his night's work was over.
It is testament to Joshua that he continues to rise to such mental challenges.
Fury will move better than Pulev, punch with far greater variety, believe in himself more and set far more traps in the ring.
He will also inevitably bring a whole new level of mental warfare to any build-up should the fight happen.
Hope has never been higher that it will.
'AJ v Fury work starts tomorrow'
After being caught heavily by Joshua in round three Pulev roared and smiled defiantly
No sooner had Pulev regained his footing, Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn said efforts to make the Fury fight would start "tomorrow", adding: "It's the only fight to be made in boxing. It is the biggest fight in British boxing history."
Fury's co-promoter Bob Arum - one of several key power brokers involved - said he would work from Monday to make the "biggest fight since Muhammad Ali v Joe Frazier in 1971".
That such integral figures seem so positive, coupled with the fact an agreement over a financial split is said to already be in place, offers real hope the two could appear in what Fury's UK promoter Frank Warren repeatedly says will be the "biggest UK sporting event since the 1966 World Cup final".
There are many issues to resolve before a date is in place - complex television broadcast deals and a venue among them. The sight of 1,000 fans singing Sweet Caroline before Joshua's ring walk showed a return to packed out arenas - which will be a necessity for this event - is closer.
In the ring, the pair are both showing signs of improvement. Fury moved from elusive fighter to front-foot aggressor in beating Deontay Wilder last time out. Joshua - on Saturday and in beating Ruiz - has shown he too can do more than just wield knockout punches.
This was defence number one of his second reign as champion. A small cluster of men - Ali, Lennox Lewis and Mike Tyson among them - have had the chance to take the heavyweight world champion journey a second time.
Fury is in the select bunch too. The plot lines are endless.
It is time to make the fight of a generation.
Analysis - 'A UK sporting occasion'
Moments after his win Joshua threw another punch, this time at a poster featuring Pulev
BBC Radio 5 Live analyst Steve Bunce: Tyson Fury will be seeing that and saying if he fights like that against me I will walk right through him. Joshua kept flipping between styles and tactics.
British heavyweight Dillian Whyte on BBC Radio 5 Live: Joshua did what he had to do, which was worry about winning today, not worry about what he will do tomorrow. He looked good. He boxed well, he moved well, he punched well. Obviously, Pulev was not much of a threat, but Joshua showed he is a champion.
BBC Sport boxing correspondent Mike Costello on BBC Radio 5 Live: In the end a devastating performance. Destructive hitting from Anthony Joshua. Everything is set for now for Fury v Joshua - one of the greatest sporting occasions Britain has ever known.

Riyad Mahrez's first-half effort, saved by David de Gea, was one of only four shots on target at Old Trafford
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said Manchester United displayed the "best performance we have had" in a derby during his tenure as his side played out a dismal stalemate behind closed doors against Manchester City at Old Trafford.
In a game devoid of quality and excitement, neither side were able to carve out the opportunity that could make a difference amid the eerie silence of the so-called 'Theatre Of Dreams'.
Gabriel Jesus was off target and Riyad Mahrez brought a routine save from David de Gea with City's best first-half chances while Scott McTominay was agonisingly inches away from Victor Lindelof's flick as United sought the breakthrough.
United defeated City three times in four meetings last season, including a league double over their rivals.
"Possession on the ball, control (was better)," said Solskjaer. "Of course I think last year at the Etihad we could have blown them away from the 10th to the 25th minute. We could have scored four goals.
"Some unbelievable counter-attacking football, but we had about 30% possession and that second half we were hanging on.
"You felt there were fewer moments to hang on today and we had more of the ball.
"Maybe that's because they had more respect for us as well. I don't know, but I'd like to think we've developed that side of it.
"And then today we just didn't have enough to get those counter-attacks that we have."
United thought they had a second-half penalty when Kyle Walker fouled Marcus Rashford but the decision was overturned as VAR revealed the United striker was offside.
It led to an unsatisfactory conclusion for both sides, leaving United seventh in the Premier League and City a place below them.
United respond to Champions League exit
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says his team are improving after derby draw
Manchester United needed some sort of response after the despair and disappointment of their Champions League exit following the loss against RB Leipzig - defeat was not an option.
And that goal, at least, was achieved - but it was achieved in a real eyesore of a game and was only the flimsiest of straws that under-pressure boss Solskjaer and United could clutch at.
Paul Pogba was restored to the starting line-up to little or no effect but it would be unfair to single out the midfielder who seems permanently unsettled at Old Trafford, at least according to agent Mino Raiola, because barely anyone had a positive impact on a shocking spectacle.
De Gea was under the microscope after another expensive error in Germany but he, like City counterpart Ederson, had a quiet night.
He completed two straightforward saves from Mahrez's first-half effort and Rodri's injury-time shot but other than that was largely unemployed.
Solskjaer added: "Tactically we knew they were going to give us some problems but defensively we were excellent. I'm delighted with the defensive shape.
"With the ball we didn't create as much as we wanted to. They probably had the bigger moments in open play, but everyone should be happy with a draw."
It was that sort of game - although once more United's £40m summer signing from Ajax Donny van de Beek was left to watch on from the bench perhaps wondering what he has to do to get a start.
Stones excels as City stay solid
Draw is a "good point" against Man Utd - Pep Guardiola
Manchester City kept their sixth successive clean sheet since losing at Tottenham in November and it was a good night for John Stones in front of watching England manager Gareth Southgate.
The 26-year-old, who played in England's run to the 2018 World Cup semi-finals in Russia, has quietly rebuilt his form and confidence in the past few weeks and was impressive once again as United were kept at bay with relative ease.
Stones was comfortable on the ball but also did what he had to do when the straightforward defensive work was required as he continued the rehabilitation after his career looked to have stalled.
City manager Pep Guardiola showed faith to select Stones ahead of Aymeric Laporte, a sign of how satisfied he is with his form, and the defender did not let him down.
And while it is early days and Stones still has much work to do, the manner of his performance will not have gone unnoticed by Southgate, who has left Stones out of recent England squads but has an important vacancy to fill after the serious injury to Liverpool's Joe Gomez.
This was a game which left few satisfied - but Stones will certainly be one of them.
Guardiola said: "They started well after we finished the first half well.
"We created three or four clear chances, you cannot expect many against a team like United and it was a good point in the end - it will be a good point in the future.
"United is always a strong team, this is Old Trafford and they are out of the Champions League. They score when they can run but we controlled them really well."
United continue to stifle Sterling - the stats
Manchester United are unbeaten against Manchester City in three games in all competitions (W2 D1), their best run without defeat against their derby rivals since March 2016.
United have kept three consecutive clean sheets against City for the first time since a run of four in October 1995.
This was just the fifth goalless draw between the Manchester sides in 47 Premier League meetings, with three of them coming in the past 11 clashes.
United have failed to score in three home league games this season - one more than in the whole of last season.
Three of the past four instances of City mustering fewer than 10 shots in a single Premier League away game have come at Old Trafford.
Raheem Sterling extended his run of never scoring against Manchester United to 17 Premier League games, over 10 more games than he has faced any other side in the competition without a goal.
