Manchester United must be more clinical, says Ander Herrera

Ander Herrera has said Man United must improve on their finishing

Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera has declared that he and his team-mates need to be more clinical in front of goal.

Jose Mourinho's side are on a poor run of form in the league, having won just once in their last six league fixtures.

"In football I think the most difficult thing is to create chances," said Herrera.

"To be in the third part of the pitch and getting good shots away and we are doing that. So the most difficult thing is what we are doing, but now we have to score the chances, that's what football is about. So of course we have to finish better."

United next host West Ham on Sunday off the back of a 4-0 Europa League victory over Feyenoord at Old Trafford.

Herrera has undergone something of a transformation throughout the course of this season, starting just once from United's opening five league games, before featuring in every game bar one in the ensuing seven.

Indeed such was the turn around in his form that Herrera made his full international debut for Spain at Wembley in the 2-2 draw with England during the most recent international break.

"I am playing sometimes a little bit more defensive and sometimes also a bit further forward," the 27-year-old added.

"I think it's good for me to be able to give some different options for the manager and the team.

"I am happy with my development but football has no memory so you have to perform every weekend and in every game."
