Ander Herrera: Mourinho tells you things to your face, like it or not

The Manchester United midfielder spoke about his manager with the Red Devils, who isn't to everyone's taste

Spain midfielder Ander Herrera has hailed Jose Mourinho, his Manchester United manager. 

“We have a saying in Spain," Herrera told the Daily Mail in an interview. 

“You catch the liar before you catch the lame man. It's true in life and even more so in football. If a coach is not straight, players soon find him out. Mourinho is very straight.

“He says what he thinks and he says it to your face. He says it when it is something we will like but he also says it when it is something we won't like.

“The team is enjoying the day to day. Training is very dynamic and everything is with the ball so the players never lose concentration — there are no really long sessions or long team talks.

“He really understands what a footballer needs which is 20 minutes of team talk and then you get down to it.”
