Manchester United has no excuses, says Herrera

Ander Herrera feels Manchester United cannot afford to finish fourth again now that Louis van Gaal has built his own team.

Ander Herrera believes there are no excuses for Manchester United this campaign and feels it must improve on last season's fourth-placed finish.

Louis van Gaal guided the Old Trafford side back to the Champions League in his first season in charge, but Herrera has stressed the objective must be to challenge for the title in 2015-16.

"Last season was the first with the new staff and a lot of new players like me but, now, we have no excuses," Herrera told the official club magazine.
