Check this thread, lots of shouts for Herrera being overhyped https://www.redcafe.net/threads/most-overrated-and-underrated.416503/
Oh yes, I didn't doubt you when you said he's been labelled overhyped or not good enough etc.
Yeah, i agree with what you said though, Van Gaal's management style was never going to get the best out of him, it's good to see him play to his true abilities and get the recognition he deserves, his attitude is exemplary!
I remember the Sky co-commentator Terry Gibson was being interviewed on Talksport and he was going mad about how LvG was using Ander and that he was wasting his talent.
Yeah it was clear to see that LVG was using him incorrectly
Van Gaal thought Wayne Rooney, a career forward, was a better midfielder than Herrera. Based on that I can come to no conclusion other than Van Gaal's philosophy bamboozled even him.
Ander Herrera has been a top player for awhile. Anyone who saw Bilbao take us to the cleaners in 2012 knows this. David Moyes' dithering and Louis Van Gaal's lunacy nearly cost us a great player. Thank God Mourinho has sorted the situation out.
How quickly things change
To be fair, it is Successful. Must be the only one who thinks Rooney was underrated, maybe Wumminator too.
That's outrageous though, without even taking this season into account.
True, and it wasn't even early in the season where some still held hope that he'd recover his form
It is creepy even on the pitch. Watch how he's avoiding eye contact to make it less awkward.
There is plenty on people on here who claims he is not good enough for a side aspiring to win trophies, i strongly disagree. He might not be the next Pirlo or Iniesta, but hes as a complete a midfielder as they come these days. Great defensively, good technique and an eye for a pass

If only people in the Martial thread listened to you. Couldn't agree more with your point.
It's so frustrating, especially given how much he showed last season.
The mentality and grits of the two players are like night and day. I love the boy to bits but he really isn't making a case for himself.
There's one big difference : When Herrera played in few games with LVG he always showed us what's the team missing for not playing and that LVG is the real idiot.
Martial isn't doing that at all. He needs to prove us before he proves to Jose that his manager is wrong to sub him , and that by giving great performance when he comes from the bench.
Herrera was already showing his quality whenever he played.
We could really do with another midfielder like him in the squad. Fellaini did great yesterday to be fair but he doesn't have the intensity, discipline and technical ability of Ander.
With Bastian and Schneiderlin both having left there's definitely room in the squad

Actually I think he is/was underrated because he did have some bad games and wasn't playing that well. Been excellent though, hope it continues and I'm confident it will!
His best talent is that he can perform a variety of tasks and even carry out opponent specific jobs which require a great attention to detail and discipline. He's a Swiss army knife of a midfield player that does so many things well, without necessarily doing one thing in particular at the highest level. That type of all around ability is very special thought and exceedingly rare.
Unique player.
i understand that the overall sentiment of your post is to praise him but i disagree that he doesn't do anything/one thing in particular at the highest level, his pressing play, work rate and the tempo he infuses into our play are of the highest level, you'd be hard pressed (ha) to find midfielders that are as good and as quick at closing down/applying pressure. his passing ability is also severely underestimated/underrated
Got sent this by a friend:
BREAKING: Real Madrid are plotting a swoop for Ander Herrera in an attempt to bring Eden Hazard to the club. [Various]

That Herrera\Hazard joking comments everywhere on Twitter are hailrous The highlight of the game.
The highlight of the game.When Young and Carrick leave he should either take 18 or 16.
Had 21 already in Bilbao, he also seems like a guy who wouldn't want to change numbers so that his fans didn't have to buy new shirts (as RvP said).
And eyes on Hazard.
I like how the fans started chanting his name too. Well deserved, he's a bit of a cult hero.
Vidal would have been perfect.
I bet Andre was awesome at P.E
He just has that look about him, such a well rounded footballer/sportsman.

Him as a youth captain.
Can anyone translate this interview?

Perhaps this is true, though I feel at times he can press too high in chasing the ball and leave gaps in the midfield which can be exploited, which is why I don't rate him as say the best at it, but it's very subjective. Where I do think he's at the highest level is versatility and ability to shape his performance to what the manager requires of him relative to a specific opponent.
He's the kind of hardworking players we need if we want to be successful again; not the like of Fellaini. Combines hard work with talent. Amazing player. Always rated him high since the 1st game he played for us in the USA preseason tour! He's like an hybrid of Keane and Scholes!
Another victim of LVG's horrible philosophy.
