Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera hailed manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's tactics for their win at Tottenham.

Marcus Rashford scored the only goal to earn an important 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League, by latching onto a magnificent long ball from the talismanic Paul Pogba in midfield.

“The manager told us that at the beginning of the game it would be difficult to make short passes," Herrera explained.

“He told us that it would be easier for us to switch the play and to look – almost without looking - to the other side of the pitch to switch the ball, because that is where we were going to find spaces.

“We scored like that, so thank you to the game plan as well."
