NYCFC coach Vieira hails Man City loanee Yangel Herrera

Manchester City management are convinced by the potential of Yangel Herrera.

The 19 year-old is currently playing on-loan at New York City FC in the MLS.

And he has just been welcomed back after helping Venezuela reach the final of the U20 World Cup, where they were beaten by England in Suwon, South Korea.

NYCFC coach Patrick Vieira has no doubts about the City starlet.

He said: "He produced a spectacular tournament. Several friends were in Korea and told me about the great performance he had. I am very happy for him, because he took his national team to a historical place."
