“Listen, we’re already 31 or 32 years old,” explained Herrera. “I’m not sure if we’ll ever meet again on the pitch.”

Juan replied: “Right, but we could meet as coaches, couldn't we? Old Trafford's bench would suit you really well.”

Ander's cheeky response? “You still want to be my assistant, right?” Juan revealed: “I'm doing my coaching course already.”

The conversation ended with Ander agreeing: “Okay, okay. I like that.”

Herrera also discussed the lack of supporters at his old home. “You always dream of those moments, especially in places where you’ve given it your all,” he said. “For example, when we travelled to London to play Chelsea, I remember all the affection people had for you there. And I have the same feeling about Manchester, so I was really keen on saying thanks again to the people there for the five years we experienced together, but it won’t happen.”
