Ander Herrera says Manchester United are in confident mood facing Leicester City after last night's EFL Cup win over Northampton Town.

Herrera says the Reds can tackle that challenge with renewed confidence after a positive result.

“We had a terrible week and we want to be positive," Herrera said, referencing the consecutive defeats against Manchester City, Feyenoord and Watford. “Now we have to face Leicester at home and after this victory we feel good.

“We are more positive and more optimistic. We want to be at the top of the table and we have to win; we are Man United. Of course we are playing against the last Premier League winners, the champions, so we have to respect them but we have to try to win."
