Man Utd midfielder Herrera talks up reserves trio: They all can play

Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera says no-one can take their place for granted under manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Herrera, Nemanja Matic and Paul Pogba are currently the first-choice midfield.

But he told Inside United: “What the manager has brought to the team is the message that we are all important.

“We are Manchester United players and we are always ready to fight, always ready to ask for the ball.

“At the moment, it is true that us two plus Paul are playing more, but I'm sure Nemanja would agree with me that we have a lot of quality in the team – Fred can play, Scott [McTominay] has a lot of potential and energy, Andreas Pereira has a lot of qualities. I think we can all help. At the moment we are enjoying more time but the season is long and we will need everyone.

“The mood at the moment, the atmosphere, it's fantastic and I think the fans feel like we are doing what they want us to do," the 29-year-old added.
