Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera has said that he expects to stay at the club for the next five years.

The 25-year-old endured a mixed start to his United career following his summer move from Athletic Bilbao, but he has become a key player for Louis van Gaal and has started in the club's last seven games.

"I am at Manchester United, the second richest club in the world, who are in a constant search for talent," Herrera told El Pais.

"And everything takes time because everyone will have their early difficult moments, but now I am playing again.

"However, when I was not playing I kept reminding myself that I am here for the next five years and not just for a few months."

Herrera has scored five goals for United this season.
