Ander Herrera Defends Jose Mourinho over 'Difficult' Pre-Season Tour

Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera has defended manager Jose Mourinho's attitude during the Red Devils' pre-season tour of the United States and said he shares his boss' frustrations.

Mourinho has cut a miserable figure for much of the last two weeks while United have been stateside, but Herrera explained he has a right to be angry given the lack of players available to him due to holiday and injury, per David McDonnell in the Mirror:

"It's true, and I agree with him. It must be difficult for him to work with a group of players, maybe 50 per cent of whom he's not going to have in the future.
