Football fans and experts criticizing "Manchester United" coach Jose Mourinho's tactics definitely do not convince team midfielder Ander Herrera.
Portugal is increasingly facing criticism for excessive defensive play, especially evident against strong opponents, but his disciple believes that the results speak for themselves.
According to the Spaniard, if the "Red Devils" only defended, they would not have triumphed last season in the "Community Shield" match, the English League Cup, and the UEFA Europa League.
"If you look at the statistics of 'Manchester United', three weeks ago we scored as many goals as 'Manchester City', and we were the second most productive team in the league", - Herrera told "beIN Sports".
"In many cases labels are necessary to express journalists' opinions, but they do not reflect the truth, as it is in Mourinho's case."
"Last season we won three titles in most games by controlling the ball for longer and creating more chances than our opponents."
"Winning three titles in a season just by defensive play is impossible, it's simply impossible."
In the first 12 "Premier League" matches, "Man United" has scored 27 goals so far. In the league table, the team is in second place, trailing "Man City" by eight points.
