United Have The Three Best Strikers In The World

The Spanish midfielder, who is
currently injured, has lavished praise
on Radamel Falcao, Robin van Persie
and Wayne Rooney, insisting they are
among the elite of world football.

Ander Herrera has
hailed Manchester
United ’s forward
line, insisting that
the club have the
three best strikers in the world at their
disposal.

Louis van Gaal recruited Radamel
Falcao on a season-long loan deal on
transfer deadline day, with the
Colombia international joining fellow
strikers Robin van Persie and Wayne
Rooney at Old Trafford.

Falcao forged a reputation as one of
the deadliest strikers in the world
during his spells at Atletico Madrid
and Monaco, leaving Herrera in awe at
the firepower available to Van Gaal,
though he remains acutely aware of the
need to increase his own goal tally as
the season progresses.

"I want to try to score more goals,”
Herrera, who has scored twice this
season, told United’s official website.
“It's very important for the midfielders.

“I like assists as well and I think we
have maybe the best three strikers in
the world here in Rooney, van Persie
and Falcao.

"Juan [Mata], Angel [Di Maria], Adnan
[Januzaj], Daley [Blind], Fletch [Darren
Fletcher] and me are all going to help
them try to score, and if I score of
course I'll be very happy.”

Herrera joined United from Athletic
Bilbao in the summer and is currently
sidelined with a rib injury, though he
has expressed his delight at being able
to ply his trade in England’s top-flight.

"The Premier League is a great
league," he added.

"It's a very quick league, non-stop and
great spectacle for the fans. That's
good because sometimes in other
countries there are more teams that try
to keep the ball in their end of the pitch
but in the Premier League you will see
a lot of goals.

“It's a difficult league, there are tough
games against Chelsea, Arsenal,
Liverpool, Spurs, City and Everton; it's
a great challenge."
