Ander Herrera has insisted that he has "a fantastic relationship" with Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho.

Mourinho took exception to comments made by Herrera in the aftermath of United's 2-1 defeat at Huddersfield Town in the Premier League last weekend, which suggested that the Red Devils lacked passion at the John Smith's Stadium.

It had been suggested that the two have had a fractious relationship in the early stages of the 2017-18 campaign, but Herrera has firmly denied that there has been a falling-out with his head coach.

"We have a fantastic relationship, but what I said was that in the first 30 minutes they had a better attitude than us," talkSPORT quotes Herrera as saying.

"That's what happened. But after that we had a good attitude and we were even close to drawing the game, which is not so easy after playing bad the first 30 minutes. But now we want to forget what happened on Saturday.

"We want to move forward for a massive game against Tottenham and try to win. After the defeat at Huddersfield we needed good feelings back, because when you lose a game you want to play as quick as possible and play well."

United will look to bounce back in the Premier League when they host Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday afternoon.
