 Herrera excited to follow Ibrahimovic's lead at Man Utd
The Red Devils desperately struggled for goals under Louis van Gaal last season, but the Spaniard expects that to now change following the Swede's arrival this summer
Zlatan Ibrahimovic's arrival at Manchester United provides the team with a strong figure to follow and will help them become more prolific, according to midfielder Ander Herrera.
United came under fire for a dull brand of football during Louis van Gaal's tenure, with Stoke City the only top-half Premier League side to score fewer than their 49 goals last season.
But Herrera is feeling confident following the appointment of Jose Mourinho as manager and the signing of Ibrahimovic, who scored a brilliant scissor kick within four minutes of his first appearance for the club in the 5-2 friendly win against Galatasaray on Saturday.
The Spaniard feels his new team-mate can provide guidance to players like teenage striker Marcus Rashford, spoiling United for choice in attack.
"We are going to follow Ibra because we have one of the best players in the world and we have a big leader in our dressing room with him," said Herrera.
"And with the experience of Wayne Rooney, Michael Carrick and Ashley Young as well we are very optimistic about the future.

 "Ibra is more of a target man while Rashford can find the spaces because he is so quick and fast. So I think it is good for the manager to have those different options."
