Ander Herrera has a special bond with the Manchester United supporters and, although the Spaniard is not from the city, he believes he shares the same passion and love for the club.
That much was evident on Wednesday night when Herrera produced a typically passionate performance in the Reds’ 1-0 win over neighbours Manchester City at Old Trafford in the fourth round of the EFL Cup, with compatriot Juan Mata scoring the only goal in the second half.
Herrera was asked by MUTV after the final whistle whether he enjoys the feisty midfield battles in matches like the derby and the 27-year-old delivered a characteristically emotive response.
