Ander Herrera is a young Spanish football player who currently features for the Spanish football club Athletic Bilbao. He plays as a midfielder.

Herrera developed at the youth academy of Real Zaragoza and played for the B team during the 2008-09 campaign. He was then promoted to the first team and was a regular for them for the following two seasons.

His impressive performances for Zaragoza saw him earn a move to Athletic Bilbao in 2001 and he proved his worth to the Basque giants rightaway, helping them reach the finals of the Europa League and the Copa del Rey in 2011-12.

He was a regular at Bilbao until Manchester United signed him in 2014 for 36 million euros on a four-year deal. He played regularly for United without becoming a rusted-on starter, before joining Paris Saint-Germain in 2019. He wasn't able to regularly break into PSG's starting line-up and opted to re-join Bilbao in August 2022 on loan.

Herrera played for Spain at the Under-20, Under-21 and Under-23 levels, and made two senior appearances in 2016 and 2017.
