‘Well my God, when a player says that and when a player feels that, I think they should all go to the press conference and explain why, because I can’t explain. It concerns me. If it happens today, why can’t it happen tomorrow?’
Herrera struggled on the day but has generally shown the right attitude under Mourinho, and looks to have done so again by brushing off his manager’s words ahead of this weekend’s game against Tottenham.
