Man Utd midfielder Herrera called to give evidence in Spanish match-fixing trial

Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera must give evidence in a Spanish match-fixing trial.

Herrera is one of 28 players who will be summoned to appear in court in Valencia in 2015 as the investigation into a match he played in May 2011 is heard, reports the Daily Mail.

His then-manager Javier Aguirre, who is currently coaching the Japanese national team, and Atletico Madrid captain Gabi are among those who will give evidence.

The match in question was the last game of the 2010-11 season, with Real Zaragoza needing to win to stay up. They beat Levante 2-1 away from home with Herrera playing 72 minutes before being substituted.
