VIDEO: If David de Gea does leave, Manchester United have a readymade replacement in Ander Herrera

Not too shabby for a midfielder

Victor Valdes might be getting shipped out of Old Trafford this summer but there’s another player more than capable of acting as David de Gea’s understudy.

Midfielder Ander Herrera proved that he’s right up there among the Spaniards capable of jumping between the sticks for the Red Devils.

Herrera put on a shotstopping display as he trained during Louis van Gaal’s side tour of the U.S.A. and he showed some impressive stretch for his 5 ft 9 in frame.

Expect a bid from Real Madrid for Herrera any day now.
