Ex-Man Utd striker Gibson has no doubts over Herrera quality

Former Manchester United striker Terry Gibson is confident Ander Herrera is Premier League class.

Gibson saw plenty of former Athletic Bilbao midfielder Herrera as part if his job as a Spanish football pundit.

He told the Sunday Express: "He has the all the traits of the classic Spanish midfielder, like Xavi and Iniesta. But he is strong and good at receiving the ball and could play defensive midfielder.

"He can play anywhere in midfield but it would have to be centrally, not wide. He'd be happy to go and take the ball off a back three and play the defensive role."
