"Manchester United" defender Ander Herrera further intensified the battle for fourth place in the "Premier League", stating that his team is stronger than their principal rival, "Manchester City".
It was precisely last month's victory at the "Etihad" stadium that revived the hopes of the "Red Devils" to play in the UEFA Champions League next season.
With seven games left, Louis van Gaal's pupils are only one point behind the "Cityzens".
"I think the last game (against "Man City" - ed. note) showed that currently we are slightly better than them", Herrera said.
"We beat them in the Manchester derby, so we can remain optimistic."
The Spaniard also added that the team will be strengthened in the crucial stage of the season with the main lineup players recovering from injuries.
