Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Ince says Ander Herrera does not suit United, amid reports the player is not happy at Old Trafford.

Ince, who played for United between 1989 and 1995, says that former Athleltic Bilbao man Herrera, 26, is more suited to the Spanish league.

“When they bought him I thought it was a lot of money and when I first saw him he was small and looked quite weak, especially for the Premier League.”

“I watched him play in Spain and he suits the Spanish game but I don’t think he suits the Premier League. When he plays he gets forward and gets a couple of goals but Van Gaal has gone for two strong ones sitting in there and it’s hard for him to fit into that.”

“I’m not sure he’s going to be a regular in a Louis Van Gaal side and although he’s a very good player he’s just more suited to Spain.”
