The Red Devils midfielder has saluted the impact made by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, with key men having been given license to express themselves
Ander Herrera credits Ole Gunnar Solskjaer with granting Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford the freedom in which to flourish, but he is not expecting Manchester United to remain unbeaten.
The Red Devils are yet to come unstuck through 10 outings under an interim coach, with nine victories taken in since Jose Mourinho was relieved of his managerial duties.
A change in approach has brought the best out of those who had stagnated under the previous regime, with Pogba once again combining with Rashford against Leicester on Sunday to secure a 1-0 win.
Herrera feels United now have a system which plays to their strengths, telling reporters: “Paul is feeling free because Nemanja [Matic] and me and the centre-backs are all the time controlling the opponents’ attack, even when we have the ball.
“I think Marcus Rashford feels free, Jesse [Lingard] feels free, Alexis [Sanchez] also, Juan [Mata] when he played the other day and he was moving everywhere. We’re playing with a lot of freedom, this is one of the things he [Solskjaer] is talking about every day.
“I think at the moment we are mixing very well when we receive the ball between the lines and we have to run into the space.
“It’s good that the opponents don’t know exactly what we’re going to do. We can find the gaps in between the defenders and the gaps between the lines, that’s something we’re really working on, because we don’t want to be a predictable team.
“I think he [Solskjaer] knows I can work to make all the players feel free. I feel very good, but I think everyone is feeling good, the players that come from the bench help a lot.”
While talking up the confidence which has been restored to the ranks at Old Trafford, Herrera concedes that setbacks will be suffered over the coming weeks.
