Does he have a girlfriend?
That touch and turn he does every time he plays is beautiful. Plays with a picture, complements Carrick so well in that midfield trio.
I'll never be fully convinced by Fellaini, which might be unfair but Herrera completely sold me from day one. Wonderful to watch his highlights every week.

Yep. Hard luck.
hands off, bitches! 
Damn. Mata's taken too.
Are any highlights of him vs Liverpool up yet?
Pereira wants some love. You might have a chance there.
Looks and plays like a young Keano.

Only if you are willing to take care of McNair too.
Poor old Paddy, he's always going to be the side order.
I'd recommend an eye test.

My favorite United play this season, hope he nails down his spot now.
If Keane had a basque mam, perhaps.
I actually think Herrera benefits a lot from having a Fellaini at #10.
We have seen previously this season that LVG is reluctant to use Herrera as a CM when we played with two strikers, or with Mata as #10. The fact that Fellaini offers a good amount defensively when playing there, allows us to have someone like Herrera - a primarily attacking CM - without being left too unbalanced.
Conversely, if Mata was playing centrally as #10, I don't think LVG would want to 'risk' having Herrera at CM as well, as he would see it as too attacking and not solid enough defensively.
The current system is exactly how I envisaged Herrera being used when we signed him, and I am very pleased that he is performing well.

How come he got a yellow, did nothing wrong
Had a great game

The reason he was left out is where he has improved the most, defensively. His other abilities were never in question.
Links up so well with Mata. Would love to see a midfield of Mata, Herrera and Carrick one day.
did very well , great pass and was a dynamo on the pitch
He was class today, good stuff.
What? I thought he was mineWhat's going on? He's supposed to be my obsession.
We haven't had a player of his style in years. Doesn't shy away from a tackle either!
The Spanish Cleverley eh?

He is better at every single aspect of the game than Cleverley. It is a ridiculous comparison. Ander is a complete midfielder for me.
Hopefully LVG has changed his mind on him. Him and Mata play so well together. Superb player.
His tackle on Gerrard which lead to the sending off was a retaliation for slippy's tough challenge on Mata. Looking out for his brethren.
Would get even more out of him if Valencia wasn't so hesitant at times.
He said Iniesta is his favourite player, you can tell the way he plays he models his game similar to him.
Technical engine, high pressing, vision and tracking.

Yep, couldn't care to go back just a few pages where someone called him an absolute passenger of a player and the Spanish Cleverley! I think it was the game he started after a long period out when he was actually fantastic. But yeah, a few weirdos aside, most have acknowledged the fact that he's a wonderful little player!
I still think his best position is AM. But thinking ahead to next season, will he play there ahead of Mata? LvG obviously wants a box to box player to balance things out. Might make it difficult to play both.
He is my obsession, too. There are so few midfielders around nowadays who have it all / who are as good at attacking as at defending. He is a great mix of a good Spanish and a good English midfielder, I love him.
Oh and doesn't take any s*** either, a proper classic United midfielder!

On top of being a brilliant footballer, his attitude on the field and passion for the club makes it impossible not to like him.
What a player.
What a player.
Depends what type of 4-3-3 we use. If we play with a proper holding midfielder, Herrera plays the role he did today. If we play with a number 10, there is a shout for Herrera to be that advanced player. Presses so well, and it's nullified Spurs and Liverpool recently.
He's a great CM and will only improve as one too. Absolutely no need to move the best central midfielder we've signed since Carrick into AM.
Just finished watching the match. My hands are still shaking but I have to say that Herrera was one of the better players today. Hope he continues to start for us.
The thing I enjoyed most about his performance today was how he just turned up at Anfield and stuck 2 fingers up at them.
He got stuck in and absolutely killed it. Poor old Henderson and Allen had no idea what was happening. Definitely his best game so far.

He's like a better version of Oscar. Not only does he get stuck in and put tackles in, he also is creative and brilliant with his vision. He seems to be three steps ahead when he receives the ball. Absolutely mental.
You can also tell that he is loving it here, which makes him all the more endearing.

His tackling has been brilliant to watch, hasn't it. It's at the point where it's almost 50/50 when you see the opposition gain possession, you see Anders and his winger converge and think, Anders is going to get that.
