Ander Herrera says he is enjoying his new
defensive midfield role at Manchester United and believes he works well
in tandem with Paul Pogba.
Herrera has been called up to the senior Spain squad for the first time in his career after an impressive start to the season.The former Athletic Bilbao midfielder has looked comfortable in a deep-lying position in his recent starts against Stoke and Leicester, and believes his role helps United get the best out of world-record signing Pogba
"It is going well," Herrera told Goal. "I also have a great example in that position in Michael Carrick, because he has been one of the best players in the last decade, and I think I can learn a lot from him.
"But Paul is a very strong, very physical player who shoots with both feet. He can dribble, he can defend. He has it all.
"I can then stay back to steal the ball, to keep the position, and from there initiate attacks. I'm fine, and I'll try to provide everything that the manager asks of me."
