Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho insists he and Ander Herrera enjoy a good relationship.

However, he admits he sometimes has to "push away" the Spaniard as he's always in his ear.

Mourinho said: “I love my players. You try to create a history because of my words after Huddersfield but there is no history about it. That I was not speaking with Ander Herrera anymore?

“Ander Herrera is the kind of player I have to push away because he wants to speak with me all the time. I don't know where you get these kind of stories but yes, I am happy.

“We lost one match, August, September, October, Premier League, Champions League, League Cup. We lost one match. So it was easier to ask what was the unpleasant thing or what I didn't like. I didn't like the match against Huddersfield."
