Ander Herrera is desperate for his team-mate and Real Madrid target David de Gea to remain at Manchester United this summer.

De Gea has been the subject of strong interest from Madrid for a while now and the Champions League holders are preparing to table another offer for the goalkeeper.

United insiders believe a bid is imminent as the two sides prepare to face off on their US pre-season tour on July 23.

However, should the Old Trafford outfit decide to let him go they will demand a fee in excess of £60m for the former Atletico Madrid shot-stopper, who has two years left on his current contract.

And midfielder Herrera, like United, is determined for his compatriot to stay as he claims De Gea picks up valuable points for his side over the season.

'Maybe I am a bit boring on this, but I always say the same,' Herrera is quoted as telling Cadena Ser.

'David is one of the few keepers who give you points over the course of a season.

'I prefer to have him with me, so I will do everything possible to have him here.'

Following United's 5-2 victory over LA Galaxy on the weekend, Jose Mourinho's side are now preparing to face Real Salt Lake on Tuesday before taking on rivals Manchester City in a pre-season friendly.
