Ander Herrera has claimed that there is still more to come from him on the back of his "best season" so far, vowing to make Manchester United supporters proud in the coming years.

The Spain international was voted the Red Devils' star player by his peers following an impressive campaign that saw him feature 50 times in all competitions.

Herrera, in the running to take over as permanent captain should Wayne Rooney depart this summer, has revealed that he held talks with Jose Mourinho before the season began in order to ensure that he could adapt to his new manager's thinking.

"This is the best season so far," he told Sky Sports News. "But hopefully I can have better seasons because I don't want to stop. I'm going to keep playing and keep improving and keep making our fans proud. I want to continue adding things to my game, to my style. And I will do it.

"I had a meeting with [Mourinho] and he told me I was going to be important to him if I got some points and I did it. I know it is difficult to play in a big club like Manchester United as a No.10 because you know how many goals you have to score to play there. So I thought I had to add something to my game.

"I had to give more options to the manager. We both agreed. He told me that I was going to play sometimes a different role in the team. He told me sometimes I was going to play more defensive and in other games he was going to need me more forward. I told him I'd play wherever he wanted me to play and I would give my best. We feel the football in the same way."

Herrera is reportedly a summer transfer target for Barcelona and Valencia, with the latter prepared to offer up to £30m for his signature.
