Herrera excited by away tie

EFFC3D7D64FA43F58B9F9D0018317B72Ander Herrera is looking forward to another “special” away game in the FA Cup as Manchester United travel to Derby on Friday night.

The Spaniard, who has previously spoken of his admiration for United’s travelling support, reiterated his feelings for the FA Cup, a competition which he described as really special, but warned Derby will be a tough test for Louis Van Gaal’s side.

“FA Cup away games are always special, I don’t know why but they are. It’s a competition our fans love and we love it also,” he told MUTV.

“We play Derby who are near the top of the Championship and that means they will be very tough at home. I have watched some Championship games and they are very tough games. They are a good, strong team and it’s a big day for them playing Man United.

“I have very good memories of last season and the away games we played in the Cup. Our fans were fantastic in the away games and I could score in two games, so I’m looking forward to this next game.”
