MADRID — Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera has denied accusations that he participated in a match-fixing scheme while playing in Spain for former club Zaragoza.

Post by Ander Herrera.

A complaint filed by a prosecutor on Monday named Herrera, Atletico Madrid captain Gabriel "Gabi" Fernandez and Japan coach Javier Aguirre among players from both teams and Zaragoza officials for allegedly fixing Zaragoza’s 2-1 win over Levante on May 21, 2011.

In Spain, match-fixing is a crime that can lead to prison.
