Ander Herrera says he's "living the dream" at Manchester United and is happy with his development since joining the club, but believes he can still improve his game further.

Herrera, who moved to Old Trafford in the summer of 2014 from Athletic Bilbao, was praised for his performances against Everton last Saturday and CSKA Moscow in midweek, and although Louis van Gaal has several options in midfield, the 26-year-old has established himself as an important part of the squad.

"I am ambitious, I want to play better and better," Herrera, speaking exclusively to Soccer Saturday ahead of the Super Sunday Manchester derby, said. "I am improving, when you love football you are always thinking about getting better. I can improve a lot.

"My aim is to try to play as many games as possible and to help the team. I am very happy with my development. I am living the dream - I am playing for Manchester United, for one of the best in the world."

The midfielder was named man of the match in United's 3-0 win over Everton, and Herrera is relishing the Manchester derby.

"I have the experience of last year, when we beat them at home, and I think it was the best atmosphere of the season," Herrera continued.

"I know for our people, our fans, the game against Liverpool is bigger, but it [the City game] is also very important for our fans too.

"It's a derby first, and second you get the chance to be ahead - that's what we want.

"Our aim is to fight for everything, to be involved in all the trophies. That's what Manchester United has to do."
