Herrera still dreaming of Spain call-up
Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera still dreams of breaking into Spain's squad in time to feature in next year's European Championship finals.
The 26-year-old has been sidelined through injury but is desperate to prove he is worthy of joining David De Gea and Juan Mata in Vicente del Bosque's squad, who sealed qualification for the tournament on Friday night following a 4-0 win over Luxembourg. After representing his country at Olympic level, his performances in the Barclays Premier League have bolstered his case for a call-up.
"Of course, I wish for it," Herrera told MUTV. "It's the next step for me. When you arrive at Manchester United, you are now in the biggest club with the best supporters and maybe the most followed club in the world.
"Last season, I think I had a good season. The fans were happy with me and the manager as well. Of course, I can play well or I can play badly, but I always give my best and I think I am doing well enough to get into the national squad. It's my next step.
"I know we have, in Spain, maybe the best midfielders in the world right now but I think I have the quality to be in the national team. I will fight for it. I fought last season for that and I am trying to do it again. I think I have the quality to be in it and I am showing that.
"I think I am ready to help the team [at United], help my team-mates, and I am going to play wherever the manager wants me to play," he added. "So I am doing the right things to get into the national team but, of course, the [international] manager will decide.
"Of course, it's the next dream, the next step for me. I know it's difficult but I will try to do my best to be involved in the European Championship."
