Tis a joke.
LVG has lost his marbles playing Rooney in midfield consistently over Herrera. He's better as a midfielder than Mata, Fellaini, Rooney, and Januzaj.
He got an assist in his last sub appearance and the last start in all comps was the start of January and he scored a great volley that day too.
Baffling signing.
I've heard rumours that Herrera has some off field attitude (not going to repeat here as not very flattering) and likes to drink a bit too much? I stress I don't know the truth of it. Just wondering has anyone heard anything remotely similar?
The signing made a lot of sense actually, was exactly the type of player we've been crying out for for years. The lack of use of him has been baffling though.
I've not heard anything negative about him whatsoever personally
Got problems with creating things from midfield?
Keep your creative players on the bench.
Got no balance in the squad?
Play two wingers and a striker in midfield.
Funny though how we looked more dangerous and played better football when we had a ridiculous injury crisis and LvG HAD to play a certain team and bunch of players.
Now he's got the full pick he picks a team that makes little sense

That's what I meant. Baffling that LVG would give the green light to a 30m midfilder he was going to play his best striker over.
That's why I'm wondering about the rumours of his 'antics'.
He'll probably leave in the summer if things continue like this.
Just be patient guys, you did the same with Shaw, Januzaj and Falcao.
We're apparently selling all our new signings if you listen to this board.
The problem with Herrera is that he doesn't offer enough cover to play in central midfield currently which has resulted in our central midfield getting walked all over in a couple of games he played in many months ago. He's decent as an attacking midfielder but we need wingers right now. Falcao has been gash overall but so has Herrera in any meaningful game we've played in the last few months. So maybe Van Gaal still believes Falcao can ignite into life. I am sure Herrera will get the final 30 minutes tonight any ways if either of our strikers are not having a great game which is very likely. I have no doubt that Herrera was a Moyes signing that Van Gaal took a punt on seem as he couldn't think of anyone else available that could play box to box central midfield in the short time he had to prepare last summer
I'm not drawing any parallels here.
But Di Maria, Januzaj, and Rooney do?
Yes
Summer 2015= Anti summer 2014.For me whether it's defensively or offensively, there isn't a single thing Rooney is better than Herrera in that particular role. Surely LVG uses criteria we don't have knowledge of to make his decisions.
Seems like dropping him altogether would be the way to send a message if that were the case.
That's the message board equivalent of a tit flash drive by.
Exactly, you can't say that and then not say what the rumours are. @JazzIf anything the word is exactly the opposite
I guess. Just don't know what the hell is going on… ah well irrespective of this, let's just win tonight.
Glad I didn't elaborate because everyone whose answered my question is saying the exact opposite of what I've been hearingThat's the message board equivalent of a tit flash drive by.
It's just bizarre.

There are secrets within secrets, maybe Ander is only here as a cover for his CIA work.

With Euro 2016 next summer he certainly won't want to be faffing about on the bench at United. Even should we secure fourth place, it is neither a guarantee of CL football nor a sign that Herrera's circumstances shall change significantly.
This would explain the Falcao deal happening out the blue, clearly a joint operation to bring down the Colombian Cartels.
feck off Lvg.
Man Utd 3:1 Burnley
The signing was one of the most sensible we've made in the last 5 years.
The treatment of the player thus far under Van Gaal, however, has been utterly baffling - especially as it coincides with the treatment of Wayne Rooney (i.e playing him as a midfielder) which is equally baffling.
I imagine if it continues throughout the whole season one or both players will likely put in transfer requests at the end of the season.
I'm having a hard time believing that. He was praised for his attitude and down-to-earth character upon his arrival so REALLY doubt he has changed since. Seems like one of the most polite and nice guys out there.
See my previous reply to this post.
Yep, my first impression of him was polite and intelligent. But who knows what goes on behind the scenes? In any case, if he's being a model professional, someone needs to tell LVG to play him because it doesn't make any sense.
I think he's played reasonably well in CM, and I can't remember many 'gash performances' to be fair; and I also can't recall a 'meaningful game' ,of late, where the manager has had the minerals to play him.
I hope he does get his chance as the thought of Wayne gifting endless passages of possession to the opposition is starting to irritate; and the Spaniard's ability to look after himself seems much underappreciated as from what I've witnessed he appears perfectly happy to put his proverbial size 10 in.
I think, like many, the square-peg complex, where Rooney is concerned, is beginning to look increasingly bizarre and to allow a dedicated midfielder, like Herrera, to sit passively by, while his talents could be better employed, or even examined, in the role he was trained to play seems fatuous at best.
Come on lad, now's your chance to show him what you can do
Erm.... He is on the pitch, right?
Hope he puts in a good second half because he needs to be on the pitch ahead of the likes of Falcao.
Our only recognized central midfielder at this moment. Quite sad how after 5 years we still haven't sorted out our midfield.

He shouldn't have come on. Should have been Fellaini. Van Gaal is utterly clueless.
Oops. There he is. Christ.
