Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera defends manager Jose Mourinho following recent criticism, calling the former Chelsea boss one of the best coaches in the world.

Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera has insisted that Jose Mourinho will pay no heed to the criticism he has received in recent weeks.

The Red Devils currently sit down in sixth place in the Premier League table having picked up 13 points from their opening seven matches - five fewer than early pace-setters Manchester City.

A recent three-game losing streak saw Mourinho and his players heavily criticised, but Herrera insists that the Portuguese remains one of the best managers in football.

"When you are one of the best coaches in the world, it is normal to attract bad reviews if you lose a couple of games. It is inevitable, because that is how it works. But he has made things very clear, I enjoy training and I think Mourinho is one of the best coaches I have ever had in daily work," he told Goal.com.

"It is also true that in the Premier League every team loses points. In Spain it is also beginning to happen now, but in England it is nothing new. Manchester City will lose games, so will we, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham also. This is the Premier League.

"Mourinho is a winner and will remain a winner. I don't think that the bad reviews will affect him at this point."

United, who face Liverpool at Anfield after the international break, have since gone on a four-game unbeaten streak following their losing run.
