De Gea earlier stated that Old Trafford is a fortress for the English giants, and took a jibe on the Copa del Rey finalists, claiming that they will suffer when they pay a visit to Manchester.
Responding to his compatriot’s comments, Herrera stated that San Mames faithful will not be that different from their English counterparts, and added that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Athletic-Club-c38535 will be ready for the worst in their home fixture.
Herrera was hopeful that if the tie is still alive after the Old Trafford fixture, the Lions will feast on the faith of their fans, who they will not let down.
"He told us that the atmosphere is fantastic at Old Trafford, but he also has a very good concept of San Mames, perhaps the most British countryside.”
“http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-c10409 tells us that we will suffer, but he is aware that in San Mames they will not pass well. On the go, if they try to leave the tie alive and in turn they make us strong in front of our people," he said at a press conference.
Manchester United have given away an additional 2500 tickets to Athletic supporters for the first leg, bringing the travelling support tally to 6500.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 U21 star stated that the fans are ecstatic at meeting the English giants, a fact evident by the frenzy to get the tickets.
"That shows what the match means to the club, they have been awakened by the ambition of the team and the fans want to follow them all the away. Whenever we need them, they always respond."
After coming through the ranks of Real Zaragoza, Herrera reflected that the European fixture against Manchester United is the biggest of his short career so far, and added that he wants to give a good assessment of his abilities in the two-legged affair.
