Former Manchester United winger and short term manager Ryan Giggs has hit out at United Midfielder Ander Herera for criticising his teammates in Manchester United's last league game where they were defeated 2-1 by newcomers Huddersfield Town.

In the post match interview, Herera lamented his team mates' performance during the game leading to widespread criticism of his attitude.

He told Sky Sports: "Losing to Huddersfield was obviously disappointing but you can never be surprised in the Premier League.

"You have to be right at it every weekend and Manchester United clearly weren't after two tough away games at Liverpool and Benfica.

"I've been to Benfica a couple of times and it's a tough place to go.

"I also experienced it when all the injuries seemed to be in the same position and that has happened with Paul Pogba, Marouane Fellaini and Michael Carrick all being out.

"All of the sudden they catch up on you and the midfield in particular has to be at it, so that seems to have take its toll.

"I am a little bit surprised at Ander Herrera's comments though because you wouldn't really comment about your team-mates, you leave that to the manager.

"When you start questioning you team-mates' work rates, even if they weren't at it, it can set a dangerous precedent.

"One player who has attracted a lot of criticism is Victor Lindelof but he certainly shouldn't be written off yet.

Giggs further sated that some former players who turned out great at the club also took longer to settle in.

"Some players come to the Premier League and bed in straight away and others can take six months or even a year, as it was for Patrice Evra, Jaap Stam and Nemanja Vidic, and they went on to be unbelievable players.

"You win together and lose together and you can't single out a player, especially when he hasn't been playing regularly. He's just got to knuckle down and come through this."
