Man Utd midfielder Ander Herrera: Of course I want to play more

Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera says he'll continue trying to find a place in Jose Mourinho's starting XI.

Herrera came off the bench at Bournemouth to help them win 2-1.

He told manutd.com: "Yes, I think have that quality. I only understand football as a team sport. We have an unbelievable squad of 22, 23 players and we all want to play but we also want to help. Of course, I want to play every game of the season as you all know. But when I have the opportunity to play I just try to give everything on the pitch, as I have told you in this kind of interview since the first day I came.

"We have a lot of things to give back to our fans and the only way I can do it is on the pitch. If I have two minutes, it's two minutes. If I have eight minutes as the last game against Everton, I try to give everything in those last eight minutes. And if I have more game time like today, I will give everything. It's the only way I understand football."
