Herrera: I am good enough to play for Spain
The Manchester United midfielder has made
seven appearances in all competitions thus far
this season and is sure he has the required
quality to play for his countryManchester United
midfielder Ander Herrera insists that he has the
ability to play for Spain , and is determined to
make the squad for Euro 2016.
The 26-year-old has represented his country at
under-21 level, but is yet to win his first senior
cap.
Herrera admits he faces tough competition for a
place in midfield - with the likes of Andres Iniesta,
Cesc Fabregas and David Silva also jostling for
position - but he is confident that he can break
into Vicente del Bosque's squad.
"Of course, I wish to make it into the national
team," Herrera told MUTV .
"It's the next step for me. When you arrive at
Manchester United, you are 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,. So I am
doing the right things to get into the national team
but, of course, the [international] coach 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."
