Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera says their last two Premier League draws at Old Trafford, against Stoke and Burnley, "felt like defeats" due to the amount of possession and number of shots on goal they had.
United drew 0-0 with promoted Burnley on Saturday despite enjoying 72 percent of possession and racking up 37 shots on goal. They also controlled their game against Stoke earlier this month but failed to take full points after a 1-1 draw.
Sandwiched between the two home draws were a 0-0 draw at Liverpool and a 4-0 defeat at Chelsea.
United's third draw in 10 games left them in eighth place, on 15 points from 10 games. Manchester City top the table on 23 points ahead of Arsenal and Liverpool on goal difference.
Herrera said Burnley should have been on the received end of a heavy defeat given the number of chances United created.
"We controlled the game for 90 minutes. Not to score a goal was unbelievable," Herrera told British media.
"We have the luck against us right now but we have to keep playing like we did here and against Stoke and hopefully one day we can get a fair result - 5-0 or 6-0."
