Former Manchester United defender Neville has claimed Herrera refused to play at right back in the draw with Leicester - in the stage of the game that cost them two points.

United were leading 2-1 going into the final minutes and Neville says Herrera refused to move to right back to cover Chris Smalling.

Harry Maguire then popped up at the back post to equalise the match.

“Smalling has got to flag up as an experienced defender that he’s struggling, get someone else into the centre,” said Neville on the Gary Neville Podcast.

“It didn’t happen for two or three minutes.

“Then Phil Jones recognised it had happened and tried to reorganise – as I saw it, Ander Herrera refused to go to right-back and told Henrik Mkhitaryan to go back there.

“All over a sudden Smalling sits down on the floor and then goes off the pitch and then comes back on at centre-back. He ends up picking up Harry Maguire.

“You can’t believe the disorganisation and lack of leadership shown by Manchester United at the end of that game in a game they should have won. Jose will be furious when he watches that back.”

Herrera has tweeted a Christmas message with what appears to be a dig at Neville.

He said: "Happy Christmas to everyone, including the ones that try to invent stories that never happened."
