Ander Herrera believes Manchester United's recent form indicates that they have found their identity under Jose Mourinho.

The Red Devils beat West Ham United 2-0 away on Monday to make it six straight Premier League wins and their style of play and ability to notch a bunch of victories together suggests to Herrera that the DNA of the famous club is now becoming part of their play.

"We are playing well and we are controlling most of the games," Herrera told MUTV.

"When you watch Manchester United now you realise quickly who is the big team and that means we are finding our identity, the DNA of this club and its history.

"The most important thing in my opinion is we are not conceding too many chances and we are behaving like a big team.

"Of course we have to improve and be more clinical because we are creating a lot more chances than we are scoring but we can be happy and we can even more optimistic for the next few months and the next year because I think we are doing the right things and working in the right way."
