Ander Herrera is confident Manchester United will soon be rewarded for their improved form and resurrect their Premier League season.

Jose Mourinho's men have won just one of their last eight Premier League matches and enter the weekend nine points off the Champions League places and a further four off the summit.

Sunday offers the chance to reel in fifth-placed Tottenham and end a run of four successive league draws at Old Trafford - a frustrating period that has perplexed in-form midfielder Herrera.

"To be honest, I don't think we have to look at the table and think who is above, who is below, who is the next game," he said. "Luck is going to change for us for sure because we are doing good things.

"I have never seen one team who is creating more chances than the opponent and doesn't win, so if we can keep playing the way we can then we will get the results.

"To be honest, I don't want to see the table. I just want to think Tottenham and then try to win, then we have Crystal Palace, West Brom, Sunderland.

No team has conceded fewer than Spurs and United's league goal haul is a paltry 19, less than the likes of Crystal Palace and West Brom.

"I usually speak with David (de Gea) and Juan (Mata) about this situation and I don't know the stats, but for sure we are creating more chances than last season and we are conceding less chances but we are worse off in the table. I cannot believe it.

"Football is like this but if we carry on like this, then our luck will change for sure. We have very good players. The most difficult thing in football is to create chances.

"We just need to keep doing what we have been doing and for sure time will be better for us."
