Ander Herrera: 'Manchester United are best club in England'

Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera signals his intent to remain at the club for the foreseeable future having brought up 100 appearances in a red shirt.

Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera has claimed that he is at the "best club in England" and is hoping to stay at Old Trafford for a number of years.

The 27-year-old made his 100th appearance for the Red Devils during last week's EFL Cup semi-final with Hull City and has established himself as a key member of the team under manager Jose Mourinho.

The Spaniard praised the relationship he has with Mourinho and insists that he would be happy to play anywhere for the Portuguese boss.

"I think it's fantastic to play for the biggest club in England over 100 times. I think it's a great achievement and I'm so happy for that. Maybe now is the time I am enjoying the most. I'm so happy but I don't want to stop around 100. I want to keep playing with this club, try to have a fantastic season and try to win titles because that is what this club is about," he told the club's official website.

"I know what [Mourinho] wants from me. We have a clear relationship. I know what he expects from me and I will always try my best. I can make mistakes, as can any player, but the most important thing for me is the achievements of the club and the team. I think everyone knows in the club that I try to always give everything. Sometimes more successfully than other times but I try my best, always.

"The manager has helped me a lot to find that position and to improve in that position. I am a team player. If I have to play 6, 8 or 10, I will be very happy. If I was at right-back, I would be happy as well. When you want to have a great season, there is no space for your own 'likes'. I think you have the chance to help the team wherever the manager wants to play you. He will have no problem with me if I have to play wherever in the team.

"I just want to win games for Manchester United. I don't care about other teams. I play for the best. I am very, very happy with the way United fans show their affection to me. To be honest, I don't care about the rest of the teams. No, I just play for United and I'm very thankful to the fans. I am very lucky that I play for the best club in England so I don't really think about the rest of the teams."

United currently sit sixth in the Premier League table, 14 points adrift of league leaders Chelsea.
