WHAT IS JOSE MOURINHO'S VIEW OF VAR?

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has outlined his opinions on the new technology in football, ahead of the Reds’ first match using the VAR system against Huddersfield Town in the Emirates FA Cup on Saturday.

The video assistant referee has been trialled in both domestic cup competitions in England this term [the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup] but this is the first time a United match has had it in place.

Although there has been some controversy in other fixtures of late, Jose is broadly in agreement with the changes and feels it is time for the match officials to receive some support.

“When people ask us if we like it, if we don’t like it, if we agree with it or don’t agree with it, I think honestly it’s a question for the referees,” the boss told MUTV.

“They want to perform the best they can, they don’t like to make mistakes. And sometimes they make mistakes because it’s a human mistake and you cannot go over it unless you have some technological support. So if the referees are happy with that technological support, then yes, let’s go for the VAR. I think, from my perspective, I like the feeling.”

The manager is clear the testing of the new system will iron out any teething problems with the technology.

“Of course they need adjustments,” he said. “They need to make sure that they don’t change the dynamic of the game too much, the emotion of the game too much – people waiting a couple of minutes to know if they can jump [and celebrate] because it was a goal.

“But from my professional perspective, I like the feeling of a right decision is coming. It’s a penalty or not a penalty, it’s handball or not handball, it’s a red card or not a red card. I think a fair decision is a feeling that I like.”

OPINION: WHY HUDDERSFIELD IS HUGE FOR UNITED

This will sound odd, considering the stages on which Manchester United play, but Saturday’s match at Huddersfield Town and the modest John Smith’s Stadium is arguably our biggest of 2018 so far. I understand that is a debatable claim to make, but just hear me out will you?

In the context of the campaign, with Manchester City 16 points clear at the top of the Premier League, our best chances of success are represented by the Emirates FA Cup and UEFA Champions League. As you'll no doubt know, our next two fixtures are in those very competitions: away to Huddersfield and then Sevilla.

A trip to West Yorkshire and an industrial town that gave birth to rugby league is ordinarily a low-key occasion. But, for me at least, it is currently more important than our impending return to Europe’s big stage in picturesque Seville, Spain’s fourth largest city, because the repercussions of our performance and result in Kirklees will impact on the latter.

Win that fifth-round tie and the squad’s form, morale and confidence is immediately improved at a perfect time, potentially triggering a domino effect at an influential period in the campaign. Lose it and suddenly we are out of the FA Cup, shaken and facing a team that hasn’t lost at home in Europe this season, and held Liverpool to a couple of score draws in the group stage.

Huddersfield is a big test - make no mistake - and one that provides United with a chance to showcase the lessons that have been learned since losing to the Terriers back on 21 October – even if that result was partially avenged by this month’s 2-0 win in the reverse fixture at Old Trafford.

Club legend Paddy Crerand often states how a team’s confidence and momentum can be just as important as quality, particularly at the business end of the season, and the 1968 European Cup winner acknowledged the magnitude of this week during Monday night’s MUTV phone-in.

A big positive for United is the lack of a midweek fixture which is allowing Jose Mourinho to work on the training ground, focusing on tactics and the minutiae of his approach. The manager has admitted United must “fight” to bounce back and his attitude must be adopted by the players this weekend.

Huddersfield, inconveniently, are on a high after ending their five-match losing streak in the league with a superb 4-1 home win over Bournemouth, which Terriers manager David Wagner described as “one of the performances of the season” before calling on his players to replicate it against the Reds.

The United squad is thankfully talking a good game after the defeat at Newcastle, expressing sentiments stuffed with more purpose, drive and determination than the Winter Olympics. Phil Jones was typically honest in his post-match interviews at St James’ Park and admitted “we have to improve”, before Juan Mata wrote in his blog about the anger that is fuelling the squad this week.

“The truth is, after losing an away game, you think a lot about it on your way back home,” the Spaniard explained on Monday morning. “You remember every play, every moment, and you try to change the outcome but obviously that’s impossible - you can’t turn back time. The only way to carry on is to turn all this rage into a desire to win and work for the next game.”

The very fact that the nicest man in football is raging only highlights the importance of this week, and a fixture that could inspire the success of this campaign.

Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera set to miss FA Cup clash at Huddersfield with thigh injury

* Jose Mourinho confirmed Ander Herrera has suffered a thigh injury
* The Spaniard is set to miss Saturday's FA Cup tie with Huddersfield Town
* He will be joined by Marcus Rashford who sat out Sunday's 1-0 loss at Newcastle
* United were looking to reintroduce Herrera to aid their struggling midfield
* Herrera could be sidelined for up to a few weeks while he receives treatment

Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera is doubtful for their FA Cup tie at Huddersfield Town.

The 28-year-old Spaniard has picked up an injury to his left thigh and could be out for a few weeks as he waits to see how it responds to treatment.

Jose Mourinho confirmed Herrera had picked up a muscle knock, as has Marcus Rashford, following Sunday's defeat by Newcastle United.


Ander Herrera is set for a spell on the sidelines after picking up a thigh injury. Jose Mourinho confirmed Herrera could miss Saturday's FA Cup tie at Huddersfield

Herrera, who was named the club's player of the year last season, has been pushed to the fringes by the arrival of Nemanja Matic this campaign but was being considered for a recall to a starting place as United's midfield struggles for form.

Herrera has emerged as a summer target for a number of clubs abroad including AC Milan. However, he is happy at United while he continues to compete for a place. He has made 29 appearances this season.

United want to bring in another midfielder in the summer with Michael Carrick due to retire.

Sergej Milinkovic-Savic of Lazio and Napoli's Jorginho have both been watched this season while another option, Fred of Shakhtar Donetsk is joining Manchester City.
