Manchester United Manager Jose Mourinho is extremely livid at what midfielder Ander Herrera had to say after their side lost to Huddersfield Town A.F.C. for the first time since 1965.
It was truly a tremendous upset that is the the talk of the entire football world right now.
“I heard Ander Herrera saying in the interviews, saying the attitude and desire was poor. Oh my God,” Mourinho said in his postgame news conference, one in which he called out his team for having a poor attitude.
“When a player says that, I think they should all go to the press conference because I cannot explain that.”
Here’s video of that Herrera interview, via the club’s official web channel.

“It was a very tough day because we had a big chance to keep winning games,” Herrera told MUTV.
“We didn’t do it. They were more aggressive in the first half and played with more passion in the first 30-35 minutes. After that, we came back into the game well and tried to play side to side. We put in a lot of crosses but, when you’re losing 2-0 against such a passionate team, it’s not easy to equal the game. But we now have to analyze why we lost. We cannot concede what we did in the first 30-35 minutes and this is the Premier League, it’s not easy.
“We [just] have to analyze that between us, I don’t think it’s time to talk here now. We have to speak between us, but that’s what happened. They were more passionate in the first 30 minutes.”
