"He has nothing to do, for example, with Marcelo Bielsa, a trainer who also favours attacking play, but who is looking for football in continuous movement, where you have to break the lines, go get the ball yourself."
Herrera played for United at one of the toughest times in the club’s entire history.
But the Spain international feels that life at the Ligue 1 giants is harder because of the expectancy of the club’s fans.
"The requirement that there is in Paris, I had never known it before,” he said.
"Here, winning is a total obligation, otherwise, it is a tragedy.
“We lost 2 -1 in Dortmund. In the Champions League, it was a good away result. But it was considered an absolute tragedy.
“People keep these games in mind and look for controversy. He is a coach who also likes to change the system a lot during games.”
Upon leaving United, Herrera thanked them for all the support he received during his spell at Old Trafford.
“Yes… this is a sad moment to be honest because I’ve enjoyed the last five years at this club so much, but I’m here to announce that I’m moving and I will not be a Manchester United player next season,” he said.
“Of course I have a message for the fans because they have been incredible with me.
“I have so much to thank all of them for – they have given me so much love and support.
“As I said before, this is not an easy day or an easy decision but sometimes in life you have to take decisions.”
