Herrera: United Future Is Bright

Ander Herrera believes Manchester United are 'cooking a fantastic team' as their young players continue to shine.

After facing an injury crisis earlier in the season Louis Van Gaal has relied heavily on the youth in his squad and they have stepped up, with the likes of Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial standing out.

Herrera has praised the young players in the squad and thinks United have a great blend of youth and experience.

The Spain international remains optimistic ahead of their final four games in the league as they look to push for a place in the top four - United are currently five points off Man City and Arsenal with a game in hand.

"I think in the last two or three months we have had the feeling that we are cooking a fantastic team. Young players - a fantastic mix between them and the experienced players," Herrera told British media.

"They have the pace. They have the imagination, not only Anthony and Marcus, but also Jesse (Lingard) and Memphis (Depay).

"They have the imagination to make a fantastic team but I don't want to look so far ahead. Now we have a fantastic team, a fantastic chance to win a title and we have the chance to beat Leicester at home because we are in a good moment and we are fighting for the top four."

Man United need to win their remaining four games if they are to have a chance of finishing in the top four and they face their toughest remaining challenge on Sunday when they host Leicester City.
