Thiago wasn't either, wish England had so many options when picking midfielders. He'll get a nice rest.

This type of thing makes me fear he'll want to go back to Spain eventually if the top 2 come calling

Not sure, he will be 26 in August, so he will get to an age that if he hasn't been capped, he isn't going to be capped. Going back to Spain won't change that. Unfortunately. Depends how much it bothers him or if he could rather concentrate on winning things with a club.
 
Such a fanboy of his. I've forgotten what a half decent midfielder can look like. Him and Carrick posses that ability to make space for themselves in the middle of the park; it's very refreshing to see in our midfield. If we get anyone in with a similar ability, but with that final pass on them, I will look forward to watching our midfield next season instead of wincing.
 
Shame that we never got to see a midfield of Herrera and Carrick as a 2, with mata ahead as a 10. Think it could work really well with Herrera doing the leg work and Carrick sweeping as usual.

We had to wait ages for Ander to get a regular place, then just as it possibly could happen then Carrick gets injured. Unfortunately Juan has not been played in his ideal position either.
 
Well Spain has a great choice for midfield so it's difficult. They're complete dunces though for picking that turd at Madrid over De Gea

United won every game that Herrera and Carrick both started. 15 points out of 15 in games vs Spurs, Liverpool, City, Stoke & Villa.

Didn't know that, good stuff.
 
If thats his first season with us I can't wait until next, he's already a Key player for us and will only get better.
 
I remember the times in this thread where it was suggested he would be sold in the summer as he was not an LVG signing and not in his plans... how times have changed for the better :boring:
 
I remember that day, what a great day it was. Sitting at the university on my laptop uploading the page all the time til it was confirmed. Hope i dont have to wait for Ramos too long
 
Only regret is that it should have been 2 years ago, instead of just 1. :D
 
The way Herrera retrained himself mid-season under van gaals guidance was a wonderful example to the rest of the players like Di Maria or Shaw who find them in & out of the first team. A kind of commitment to the cause that we as supporters love to see.
 


Was he the best CM in the Premier League for the second half of last season?

Fabregas went badly off the boil. Touré is only ever on it half the time anyway. We saw Herrera outplay the midfields of Spurs, Liverpool, City and Chelsea one after another. Even when we lost our way a bit in the last few matches his form stayed good - it was elsewhere on the pitch (losing Carrick again, mainly) that we suffered.

Possibly someone at Arsenal like Cazorla might have a shout, but other than that it was Ander, for me.

Agree. He was fantastic, no point in arguing against it. I also think he was one of the best midfielders once he returned to the starting eleven. That compilation is great too, shows exactly what a magnificent season he had.
 


Just look at him here.

This + Gündogan, a couple of wing-forwards, and a less possession-focused manager would be :drool: They'd just be flicking, dinking, chipping the ball in little triangles all over the park. :drool:
It would be awesome to get players in who can play at his (and Martial's speed) and build on it.


---------Schneiderlin
------Herrera---Gundogan
Griezmann--Martial--- ?
