Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera has hailed the club's US support.

The Spanish midfielder was in the team which beat Real Madrid 3-1 in August 2014, with 109,318 fans watching at the Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor.

"I remember playing in America a few years ago against Real Madrid, in front of nearly 110,000 people, and 80 per cent of them were Reds!" he told ManUtd.com, shortly before going on his summer holiday.

"That shows how important United are over there, so I'm really happy and excited to be able to play for our fans over there again.

"I know they are only friendlies, but everyone is excited to play. The most important thing is to be prepared for the first official games of the new season, of course, but it will be nice to go over to America."
