Ander Herrera has admitted that he is eager to emulate the career enjoyed by Paul Scholes at Manchester United.
The Spaniard has produced a number of impressive displays since arriving at Old Trafford in the summer, and claims that the example set by two former United midfielders is driving him on to improve.
"Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes were two players I watched a lot and I wish that one day I can be like Scholes," Herrera told reporters.
"I have a lot of respect for him and I always enjoyed watching him. He always worked hard, helped the team and always made a lot of chances not only for himself but for all his team-mates.
"It's difficult, I know, but I wish that one day I can be similar to him."
Scholes made over 700 appearances for United after making his debut in 1994.
