Herrera appeared the handle the ball in the build-up to Marcus Rashford's early opener.

But Conte has refused to blame his side's lacklustre display on the actions of the United man.
"Last game against Bournemouth we conceded a goal in a same situation, against Palace a clear handball, against Stoke a penalty with great doubt," he told Sky Sports.
"This is not important.
"It is important to find the right solution, but the decision of the referee wasn't good for us. We were unlucky."
