Ander Herrera has told fans to expect 'a very offensive Manchester United ' under the management of Jose Mourinho.

The Spaniard was speaking after the Red Devils' mauling at the hands of Borussia Dortmund, but insists the match was 'a good workout'.

Mourinho has now overseen two pre-season friendlies, having watched his side beat Wigan before jetting off to China.

Herrera said: “I think we know what we have to do. One of the things that we have realised already is that every player is very clear with what they have to do.

"We want very aggressive players in midfield, we want to have the ball but not just have the ball, we want to attack, he wants to attack and I think we are going to see a very offensive Man United.

"But of course when we want to be compact then we are going to do that as well.”

A double from Gonzalo Castro plus strikes from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Ousame Dembele earned Dortmund the impressive victory in the Far East friendly.

Former BVB star Henrikh Mkhitaryan netted his first United goal, but it wasn't enough to prevent a heavy defeat in front of thousands of fanatical Red Devils fans in China.

“I think it was a good workout," Herrera added. "They are a very good team and they had already played five games.

"That is one of the most important things in football, when you have already played games you are fitter and you are better. But we have no excuses. We are Man United, we shouldn’t lose and we want to win every game.

"But this pre-season we want to put minutes in our legs and I think we can be satisfied but of course Man United never wants to lose.”
