Herrera Bemused By Draw

Ander Herrera described Manchester United's 1-1 draw against West Ham United as "unbelievable", after the Hammers became the fourth visiting team in a row to hold the Reds at Old Trafford in the Premier League.

Despite falling behind to Diafra Sakho's effort after just two minutes, Jose Mourinho's men created a number of chances to win the game and improve on the preceding home league results against Stoke City, Burnley and Arsenal.

Few would have bet against United going on to claim all three points when Zlatan Ibrahimovic headed his side level on 21 minutes, but the Reds ultimately had to settle for a share of the spoils.

Speaking after the game, Herrera admitted he couldn't believe the result, saying: “The goalkeeper was the best player for them, once again. It was the same against Burnley, against Stoke and against Arsenal. I can’t remember a game [this season] where an opponent has created more chances than us.

"We’re playing so well; we’re creating a lot of chances and a lot of shots, moving the ball from side to side and crossing – I don’t know what we have to do to win a game. I don’t know what I can say to our fans, either, because it’s frustrating for us.

"We’re playing the right way, and doing things the right way. I think West Ham are a good side, and they didn’t get the ball for more than one minute [at a time] – so it’s unbelievable that we aren’t winning these games. It’s the first time in my career that I’ve felt something like this.”

Herrera and his team-mates will look to make amends when the sides meet again in Manchester on Wednesday evening (30 November), when there will be a place in the EFL Cup semi-final at stake.
