In an interview with the Evening News, Ander Herrera was made aware that Paul Scholes was the last midfielder to get in double figures for United. In the 2004-05 season Scholes scored 12 goals. Herrera is on five and is keen to emulate Scholes.

Paul Scholes is maybe the biggest midfielder in the United history. Really? Yes. I want to be Ander Herrera, I want to learn things from Paul Scholes, things from Michael Carrick, things from Wayne Rooney, I wish one day… I wish one day… I can be so important for the fans, but I have to work very, very hard for that. But, I think I am 25-years-old, I have to learn a lot from my teammates, from great players like Paul Scholes and I want to learn.
