Herrera: Even on the bench I'm happy at Man Utd

Ander Herrera is delighted with his progress this season at Manchester United.

In an exclusive interview with United Review, the official matchday programme, the 25-year-old midfield all-rounder made it clear that he is very content at Old Trafford.

"I'm very happy," he enthused. "Even when I was not playing, I was also happy. I am at Manchester United. I feel really lucky to be here. The manager has to decide who is playing or not but we have to respect always the decision he makes. The manager wants the best for the team, the best for us and we have to follow him always.

"When I signed for Manchester United, I was thinking of players like Michael Carrick, Wayne Rooney, Antonio Valencia, Rafael da Silva and, although he is not here now, Darren Fletcher. These are people who have been playing for a long time for United. It's my dream to be here for a long time because I am in the right team, in the right league and in the right country. I feel very happy and I want to stay at the club for many years to come."
