Ander Herrera

When I was playing for Real Zaragoza, I had the responsibility that I was playing for the club that I support and that I love. When I was playing for Athletic Bilbao, I was feeling the responsibility to play for the most special philosophy in the world, which is only playing Basque people. ”

I am always open to learning. I am always open to adapting myself to a new role and a new position. ”

I would never have left Athletic if it hadn't been for a club like United. I left a different, unique club, with a special philosophy and incredible people. ”

If I am on the pitch I'm very calm because I know I've done everything to be there. That's the way to be and the way I'll feel until the last day of my career. ”

I have always given everything to the clubs I have represented and I represent. But I cannot lie to you: the club of my heart is still Real Zaragoza, who I have supported as a child and where I started my career. ”

I know it is difficult to play in a big club like Manchester United as a No. 10 because you know how many goals you have to score to play there. So I thought I had to add something to my game. I had to give more options to the manager. ”

Football is about trophies, no? About achieving objectives. ”

The most difficult quality is to make the right decision. Because you can be quick, you can be strong, you can jump incredibly, you can have the best shots and you can be able to score goals from 50 yards, but if you don't know when to shoot, when to run or when to jump, you're lost. ”

I used to play as a No. 10, in Bilbao, in most of the games, but when I came to United, when you come to one of the biggest clubs in the world, you realise that if you want to be a No. 10, you have to score 10, 12 goals per season. ”

Sometimes you hit the ball on target and sometimes you don't. ”
