Ander Herrera reveals his thoughts on Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal
ANDER HERRERA has given his backing to Louis van Gaal and believes he is the right man to lead Manchester United to glory.
Ander Herrera has started just five Premier League games this season
Herrera is a fans’ favourite at Old Trafford but has been in and out of the team since his £28million move from Athletic Bilbao last summer, with Van Gaal's treatment of the midfielder questioned.
The Spaniard only has five Premier League starts to his name this campaign, but he backed his manager's tactics and insisted he is not quite the tenacious character that he is often referred to be.
Herrera told Catalunya Radio: “He’s a very demanding person, very forward and very sincere, which I value a lot.
"To you guys (the press), he might seem a bit tough, but I think he’s a good guy and I think he wants what’s best for the club.
“On a personal level, I have a very good relationship with him. I know he can look tough from outside the club, but from within, he’s the right guy to help us improve.”
