Manchester derby defeat felt like a big punch, says livid Herrera

Jose Mourinho’s men saw their club record-equalling 40-match unbeaten home run come to an untimely end on Sunday as they lost to neighbours Manchester City in a heated encounter.

Pep Guardiola’s runaway Premier League leaders opened up an 11-point gap on second-place United with the 2-1 win at Old Trafford, where Nicolas Otamendi secured victory after seeing Marcus Rashford cancel out David Silva’s opener.
