Man Utd midfielder Herrera facing Spanish court date

Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera faces a looming Spanish court appearance.AS reports Herrera is due in court on March 5 at 9.30am - the morning after Manchester United travel to St James' Park for their Premier League meeting.

He is one of 41 people that have been called to court over the next four months after being implicated in a match fixing case involving Levante and Zaragoza from 2011.

Zaragoza won the match 2-1, meaning they avoided relegation but Spain's anti-corruption police investigated the fixture after they suspected wrong-doing.

Prosecutors allege that Levante players were paid to lose the match - a claim they deny.
