Herrera, yes." He added that Antonio Valencia will return after having been rested for the win at Burnley, but centre-backs Chris Smalling and Phil Jones are still out. "We go with what we have, we fight with what we have. I trust the boys. We are fighters and we go," he said. United are already without Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Marcos Rojo, who have knee ligament injuries, while Juan Mata is yet to recover from groin surgery.</blockquote>
