Midfielder Ander Herrera has claimed that Manchester United deserved more credit for their recent wins over Chelsea and Liverpool.
United defeated both of their rivals by a 2-1 scoreline at Old Trafford, and the results have kept Jose Mourinho's team in second place in the Premier League table.
However, the victories came at a time when United struggled in the Champions League against Sevilla, and Herrera admits that the disappointment in Europe overshadowed their efforts in domestic action.
The 28-year-old is quoted by The Sun as saying: "They were two very tough games, which were going to be key for the top four.
"We deserved both victories. Maybe we are not giving all the value to these victories because of what happened against Sevilla, which I feel very disappointed about."
United sit two points clear of third-placed Liverpool with a game in hand, while the club have also reached the FA Cup semi-finals.
