Ander Herrera was happy to help PSG to a friendly win at Dynamo Dresden.

The former Manchester United midfielder says he's happy to play where needed for PSG coach Thomas Tuchel.

Herrera said after the 1-6 win, "I'm open to playing different roles to help the team. Today, we played against two strikers so he (Tuchel) wanted me to help the central defenders. If the opponent only plays with one attacker, my role may be different. I also needed to help Marco Verratti in the build up. He knows that I am the first to want to help when we lose the ball to get it back.

"I played in different positions in Bilbao and Manchester. I will help, no matter where he wants me to help.

"Most of my matches, I played as a number 8. But with Jos Mourinho, most matches, I played as a 6. I think that if I played a lot of games and I felt important with all my managers in the past, it's because I was ready to help in any position. I can play 6, I can play 8, I can even play more like a defender like I did today. I like football, I like to progress, I like to play so I will play where the coach will want me to play."
