Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera is one of a number of players being threatened with a staggering six-year ban from football and possible two-year jail sentence for alleged match-fixing, according to the Sun. The Spain international has been accused of taking a bribe during his time as a Zaragoza player, though he has already hit out at the claims and said he is fully prepared to face a trial.

The Sun claim Herrera is alleged to have taken huge sums of money to try and lose a match for Zaragoza against Levante, and a number of other players are also facing a trial. This could be a devastating blow for the Red Devils if Herrera is found guilty, with the 28-year-old proving himself to be a key performer for the club in his time at Old Trafford so far.
