When Mourinho came, the same and we won titles. One day if another manager comes, they will speak so it's something we are used to coping with."I think Manchester United players need to have the personality to cope with that. It's true when our Premier League opponents lose games, the papers don't talk that much but when we lose they do."The analysis of Mourinho's position will never have been greater than when United travel to Manchester City on Sunday. Pep Guardiola's Premier League champions finished 19 points ahead of United last term, and City will get another chance to exert their authority over their local rivals this weekend. United arrive at the Etihad Stadium having beaten Juventus in the Champions League on Wednesday and with a victory under their belt from last year's fixture, but Herrera says recent history counts for nothing."I don't like to compare situations. It's a new game, a new situation," the Spaniard added. "Hopefully, we can win. It's true that they are the favourites because they are in unbelievable form but this is Manchester United and you never know what can happen."</blockquote>
