Template:Spanish name Ander Herrera Agüera (born 14 August 1989) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Athletic Bilbao as a central midfielder.
Club career
After completing his football formation at Real Zaragoza, Bilbao-born Herrera made his professional debuts in 2008–09, in the second division, contributing with 19 games as the Aragonese immediately returned to La Liga. He made his top flight debut on 29 August 2009 in a 1–0 home triumph against CD Tenerife.
During the 2009–10 season, Herrera was one of Zaragoza's most used players as the club managed to retain its league status. He scored his first league goal on 6 December, but in a 1–4 away loss against RCD Mallorca.[1]
In 2010–11 Herrera continued to feature regularly with Zaragoza, under both José Aurelio Gay and his successor Javier Aguirre. On 7 February 2011 he agreed to join hometown's Athletic Bilbao on a five-year contract, effective as of 1 July.[2]
Herrera made his official debut for Athletic on 18 August 2011, playing the full 90 minutes in a 0–0 home draw against Trabzonspor for the season's UEFA Europa League. He appeared in 54 official matches in his first year with the Basque (four goals), who reached both the Copa del Rey and the Europa League finals.
He was subject of a £24 Million offer from Manchester United in August 2013, but the bid was rejected by Athletic Bilbao.[3]
On 2nd September 2013 a £30.5m move to Manchester United was completed.
International career
Herrera was selected by Spanish under-21 coach Luis Milla to the 2011 UEFA European Football Championship in Denmark. On 12 June, in the group stage opener against England, he scored a controversial goal in an eventual 1–1 draw.[4]
In the final against Switzerland, through another header, Herrera netted the first goal in an eventual 2–0 win in Aarhus.[5]
