MAN UTD
Ander Herrera insists Manchester United's plans for Premier
League glory remain intact despite the 2-1 derby defeat to Manchester City and
states his team must take the positives.
The former Athletic Bilbao midfielder came on as a half-time
substitute for Jose Mourinho's side on Saturday at Old Trafford.
However, he could not help them salvage a point, with Zlatan
Ibrahimovic's goal on the stroke of half-time proving a mere consolation after
earlier strikes from Kevin De Bruyne and Kelechi Iheanacho.
But Herrera has affirmed that, despite a disappointing
result, United – who had claimed three wins from their opening three Premier
League fixtures – will bounce back.
"It
is disappointing for us. We are unhappy. We have lost a derby in front of our
fans and it is painful," Herrera told BBC Sport.
"We
have to be balanced in our analysis. This is the first game we have not played
the best. We crossed a lot of balls and put them under pressure.
"We
have to take some good things. The attitude and spirit in the second half was
fantastic. City will lose points as well. We are three points off the top and
we want to be champions.
"We
didn't start well. Every duel went for them. We have to study why that
happened. But we have played well so far.
"This
was not our best game but we created four or five chances to draw the
game."
