Ex-Man Utd ace Ander Herrera gives verdict on Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo debate

Ander Herrera is well-placed to make a judgement on the Lionel Messi v Cristiano Ronaldo debate, and the former Manchester United midfielder has sided with his current teammate.

Herrera spent last season with Messi at PSG, having himself joined the French club from United back in 2019. His time at Old Trafford might not have coincided with either of Ronaldo's stints there, but he played alongside others - most notably Wayne Rooney - who knew what it was like to accompany the Portuguese star in attack.

Spain international Herrera, who turns 33 in August, has seen colleague Messi receive criticism for failing to sustain his previous highs since moving to Ligue 1. However, the former Athletic Bilbao star has taken the South American's side in one of football's longest-running debates.
