United midfielder ‘has a clear conscience’ despite match-fixing inquiry

Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera has said his "conscience is totally clear" despite being named in a match-fixing probe in Spain.

The 25-year-old stated his innocence on his official Facebook page after it was confirmed that he and Swansea winger Jefferson Montero were among 41 people mentioned in an investigation report produced by the anti-corruption prosecutor’s office in Spain.

The investigation, the first of its kind in Spain, alleges that €965,000 was paid in cash by then Real Zaragoza coach Javier Aguirre and nine of his players, including Herrera, with their club’s consent to the Levante players ahead of their Primera Division game in the 2010-11 campaign.
