Herrera relishing Van Gaal link

Ander Herrera is relishing the prospect of working with new Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal at Old Trafford.

Herrera last week became van Gaal’s first signing since the Dutchman was named as David Moyes’ successor.

Van Gaal is currently with the Netherlands squad at the World Cup and Herrera can’t wait to work with the former Ajax and Barcelona coach.

“Louis van Gaal is one of the best managers in the world and, for me, I am lucky to be working with him,” Herrera said.

“I want to learn a lot of things and I cannot wait to play with van Gaal, my new team-mates. I am a midfielder and one of the best qualities I have is I always want to be involved.

“I know the Premier League and really like it. I think I will grow up in the Premier League. It is one of the best leagues in the world.”
