Mourinho questions Manchester united medical staff

​'They told me he was 100 per cent' - Mourinho questions medical staff after Herrera injury​

Jose Mourinho openly questioned the conclusions of his medical staff after midfielder Ander Herrera was forced off with a "bad injury" despite apparently being deemed "100 per cent ready".

Herrera had missed several weeks of action ahead of Wednesday's 0-0 draw at Sevilla with a muscular problem, before being thrown straight into the action at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.

The Spain international lasted just 17 minutes before appearing to suffer a recurrence of the issue and Mourinho was quick to point the finger at his medical team for saying Herrera was match fit.

"I think it is a bad injury," said the United boss.

"He had a small injury that stopped him for the last couple of matches, but the medical team said he was 100 per cent ready for the last Saturday. We didn't play him to give him more work and protection, but it looks like he wasn't fully fit.

"The medical department gave him fully fit on Saturday. He trained Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday and he looked fit.

"The way he was playing during the time on the pitch he showed that intensity that is only possible when fit, when you feel fit."
