Ander Herrera still regards Wayne Rooney as one of the best players on the planet despite his indifferent form this season.

Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera and Swansea City winger Jefferson Montero are among forty-one players, coaches and directors named in a match-fixing probe in Spain.

The last time Ander Herrera made an appearance for Manchester United was against West Bromwich Albion on October 20th.
