For me, if it wasn't for Young, I'd have him down as MOTM. Don't take that as a slight against any of our other top performers though.
Relentless pressing and so cool under pressure. Absolutely integral to how we're playing right now.

He was fantastic, yet again.
God, Souness is either incredibly bitter or just an absolute idiot when it comes to judging a footballer.

2 rash slide tackles in the 1st half but excellent otherwise.
For me he has the talent to be the best midfielder in this league. Quality quality player.
He's our Iniesta.
There is no doubting he is growing into a very good player but he lacks composure when in deep areas (often hacking or scewing the ball away) and sometimes he tries to over complicate things when its not needed. So pleased he is showing what a good player he can be now though.
To be honest though there are few poor performers in the team at the moment. If anyone.

Right now he's playing to the level of Vidal last season, he's been that good.
Yeah he's done it a few times this season, really throws the opposition off balance and it's hard to read where he is going. I don't remember anybody else using that type of touch before, really makes space well.
Another very good game from an increasingly impressive and authoritative player. Really like his blend of skill, tenacity and end product.
And not a single cap for Spain. If he was English, he'd be our first choice midfielder.

Quickly becoming one of my favourite players. He's got plenty of room for improvement but he exudes class and I love his attitude and work rate. Also very impressed how confident he is on the ball when players are pressurising him - he's doing what Kagawa could never master for us.
A much, much better player than anyone is really giving credit for yet. I couldn't believe it when Souness openly stated that he couldn't find any positives in Herrera's game apart from the recent goals (despite highlights being played showing his passing range). Pathetic, lazy punditry from a bitter man who's clearly not watched United play over the last month.

Had Fernandinho on his arse all game
Andrés Herrera. 
Another top performance, we've really missed a player like him in our side and he just brings so much to the table.

Apparently covered the most km today as well with 11.4
Are you referring to his signature move? Is this the one?
Also one from the Sunderland game:
Yup! Cheers for finding it
Especially the fact that he can do it on the turn, means he can just inject pace into the game and get away from his opponent so quickly. A lot of players need to get to square before they can confidently control the ball.
That pass at 2.56.
I don't know that it's enough of a 'trick' to have a name. It's just him feinting to turn outside and then not doing it, stepping back into the direction of the pass again instead. Executes it brilliantly though. It's just one of a whole catalogue of deceptive first touches that he uses to instantly make space when he receives a pass.
If he improves then we really could have another Iniesta on our hands. He has been quality since he has started getting regular football. Really is a fan favourite now.
He's not really that much like Iniesta in style. Can't we just enjoy him in his own right without always having to throw some other player's name around as a comparison?
He's certainly been the best signing this year. Such a composed and skilful player. Someone who can compete against anyone. Who would have thought that he would have such a fantastic end to the season a couple of months ago?
Him and Mata on the right could be a solid partnership for years to come now and 6 months ago both of their futures were getting questioned by people like me

Is he the best central midfielder in the league at the moment? I can't think of anyone Id swap him for.
He'll have to keep it going for longer before we can rate him properly I think.
I've never seen a player so good against players that press us. He's just so calm and is always thinking 4-5 steps ahead of the opponent.
Honestly, I was disappointed that we did not get Vidal in the Summer, even though I was ecstatic about Herrera. At the minute, however, I reckon even Vidal of last year would struggle to get in ahead of Herrera.
Stats-wise:
Herrera (this season) - 25 apps - 7 goals - 5 assists
Vidal (this season) - 35 apps - 6 goals - 3 assists
Vidal (last season) - 44 apps - 18 goals - 5 assists
(In all comps)
Considering Vidal plays in a much worse league, plays/ed in more competitions and had 19 more appearances last season and was part of the overwhelmingly dominant team, I'd say Herrera has done better.

He did. During the spell we were playing ping-pong inside the D early in the second half. Talking about that, Carrick should have done better on that one.
An ideal complement in the right side triangle with Mata and Valencia and hard to not just swoon over him
Really is a big-game player as well.
I had a dream last night that he decided to join Barca at the end of the season to play with his role model Iniesta. I was so pissed off and then I woke up and was happy again he still plays for us.
surely deserves a Spain call up soon with this kind of form.
Just watched the game because I was working all day. I honestly think he was quiet today, along with Mata, Valencia and Rooney from an attacking viewpoint. Most of our threat came down the left all game. He still contributed some nice moments but didn't have the overall influence of previous games. This is a positive though because it wasn't a great performance by us but we were still the better side for 65 minutes. If we had all our players functioning to recent levels City would've been nowhere near us (although they are shit atm). Bodes well for the future.
I'm not sure how many he has this season (or last) but I know he's very good at and takes Juve's penalties too.
That's not him in the picture at the top of the page, is it? Looks like a different man.
