Ander Herrera just loves the hate he gets from angry opposition fans.
The Manchester United midfield star is the first to admit he has an insatiable desire to be a winner in the Premier League.
And Herrera vows he will never hold back from mixing it and adding needle to every game he plays in a red shirt.
Herrera, just three months away from celebrating five years at Old Trafford, said: “I love it.
“To be honest, I would be very worried if opposition fans loved me.
“If they hate me, I think I’m doing things well. In terms of football, it means I don’t make it easy for them. As long as my fans are backing me, I love it.
“You try to win – always within the rules – but you always try to win.”
Herrera has enjoyed his career at the Theatre of Dreams and feels humbled by the appreciation from the faithful.
He added: “I could never have imagined I was going to receive so much love from the United fans. I’ll never be able to give back everything they do for me.
“The only way I can come close is to give everything every time I represent the club. I realised very quickly that, as long as you do that – as long as you die on the pitch for the club and the badge – the fans will forgive you if you make mistakes.
“That is something really different because this is a club that has won a lot of trophies with some of the best players in history.”
