Ander Herrera has revealed that he dreams of emulating the success of Paul Scholes at Manchester United.
The 25-year-old, who moved to United from Athletic Bilbao last summer, first struggled to adapt to English football but his recent performances have seen him gain plaudits from fans and pundits of the game.
And, the Spanish midfielder believes he still has more to offer and has set his sights on emulating Scholes.
“Paul Scholes is maybe the biggest midfielder in United history,” Herrera told the Manchester Evening News.
“I want to be Ander Herrera, [but] I want to learn things from Paul Scholes, things from Michael Carrick, things from Wayne Rooney.
“I wish one day, I can be so important to the fans, but I have to work very, very hard for that. But, I am 25 years old, I have to learn a lot from my team-mates, [and] from great players like Paul Scholes and I want to learn.”
Herrera has scored five goals in 18 appearances this season.
