Herrera backs Sanchez to be "important" for the club and says interim United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has "brought the smiles". Sanchez has started just three games under Solskjaer, with Frenchman Anthony Martial, 23, preferred on the wing instead. "I'm a player that, if I'm not in contact with the ball, I lose that spark, and sometimes I want to play in every game.

Sanchez added: "When they scored that first goal, I looked at them [team-mates] and I thought, no, something's not right.
