For me, David is the best. He is the best I have trained with Ander Herrera
“I cannot say anything other than David,” Herrera told ManUtd.com. “For me, David is the best. He is the best I have trained with and sometimes, in training, it is funny because when he doesn't want us to score, we don't! So, for me, there is no doubt. “But, of course, I respect the other two because they both had amazing careers and did amazingly for the club. “I don't know if they were as good as David at the same age. Maybe you can tell me. “They were amazing, but maybe when they were a bit older.”
