Herrera Honoured By Scholes Praise

Ander Herrera admits he was delighted to receive praise from Paul Scholes, who recently described the flourishing Manchester United midfielder as Louis van Gaal’s best signing of the season.

In an interview with Newstalk FM, Scholes said: “Herrera's been the one who's impressed me most. He’s another one that did struggle to get in the team early on but now he's playing really well. He's playing really good football, looks like he's going to score goals, looks like he's going to make goals. He's been a great addition and he's only a young lad as well so hopefully he can get even better.”

When receiving his Player of the Month award for April, Herrera was asked by MUTV how it felt to hear such words from the midfield icon and one of United's finest players.

“They were really, really great for me and I am very grateful," said the Spanish star. "I think Paul Scholes is maybe the best midfielder in Manchester United history so, when he says something like this, then I am very, very happy. I wish to keep improving, keep playing like this and I wish he can say it again in the next seasons.”
