Much like Carrick in early days of his United career or pretty much what Carrick was to United, a slow burner throughout the season. Fergie pointed out from time to time again that Carrick was always a one season player, he will come good at the middle of a season.
The ex-United manager also revealed how he used to purposefully tease Carrick because it would usually take the England international a few months of the season to find his form.
He added: "When he came at first, I used to wind him up a little bit.
"In the start to the season, he was always a slow starter when he first came.
"The rain started to come in September and October and he came into his own. But after a few years, he took that to mind, that I'm going to show him."
His celebration suggests he's leaving
Looked like a player that was extremely focused and knew that the job was not finished. Loved that celebration from Hererra.
Scrawny means more muscle to fat ratio. He might seem weak but do not underestimate a strength of a footballer, more agile means more strength in football, not the other way around.
His celebration suggests he's leaving
Shut up.
It's a Spanish things. Just look at Silva, Iniesta and Especially Busquets.
underrated player
Love the guy. Not as good as Dier though according to some
I just don’t understand how people want him sold. I could understand people not thinking he should be starting every game but to be sold? So underrated. We should have been playing with that midfield 3 earlier in the season.
He had a decent game but we were outclassed in midfield for 35 minutes of the first half so I’m not sure that I agree with some of the superlatives being used to describe his over all performance today. He couldn’t get near Erikson for large parts of the game.
Why would a right midfielder be anywhere near the opponent's right winger?
My lowest rated player of the season and iv slagged him off a lot . However more than decent past few games pleased for his goal today big moment for him .
Still would sell in the summer for someone better quality and more consistent .

One of the very few players that plays like he gives a shit about the badge. Why would you even consider selling? I get signing someone a bit more consistent but what do we gain from selling him. He certainly is dependable for the big games.
You make it sound like I’ve compared a right back on one team and a right back on the other. Eriksen is hardly a right winger who never comes off the touch line, much of his football is played centrally and Herrera too.
Good game for him. Wound their players up a lot, which we all know he's good at. Only problem with his game is if he gets a yellow he can't play it anymore, and he's always close to getting a yellow 
He's also one of the last people I'd want a shot near the edge of the box to fall to, but he slotted it away nicely. Well in Ander.

We need to just accept he's a fecking brilliant footballer.
You need to show it though. Today he definitely did. Rest of the season, not so much.
What about the last game?
They start on the opposite sides, Ander's job is on Son and Dembele's side. They werent great were they. Matic is the one who will come over and help Pogba on the left, Ander obviously isnt going to neglect his job and run onto the other side
Dunno, what about it? He's not been good for a long time but stood up today. Hopefully he cracks on.
I think it's a case of his qualities excelling in a play style that we exhibit in bigger matches, and when he's the main ball winner. In matches where there are ten men behind the ball, he becomes needless beside two other midfielders in Matic and Pogba.
I think Herrera is in good form. If we add quality CM backup and another world-class midfielder or at least superior players, we'd be a lot stronger in midfield depth which we haven't had for a long time, probably since SAF's 2000s. No more player the like of Fellaini.
Really good point. I think he becomes redundant in negative tactics, but in close games, or even as a singular pivot or part of a double box to box pivot he really excels.
Could well be that, yeah. Hope he stays around and is happy to not be needed in some games.
They should have their head examined. Not only does he add so much on his own when you consider his contributions everywhere on the pitch but he's the perfect complement to Matic and more importantly he allows Pogba to be his unplayable self. Maybe he had an injury that was being kept on the low in the first half of the season.
What a game
Him next to Matic in a 2 is poor. Him in a three with Pogba and Matic is much better.

Superb comeback to form. My god we've missed him all season, great goal as well. Supplement the midfield with one or two next season and have Herrera/Matic/Pogba next season and spread the field with a proper right sided player and two fullbacks. We're gonna be delicious next season boys.
Just rewatched the goal over and over again.
Normally defenders wouldn't expect a first touch shot like that, which is rewarded by that surprise goal. Herrera knows his stuff.

But he doesn't do anything cnutish?What's wrong with that claim? The more people hate him, the better. The more cnut Herrera is to other team, the better it is for us.
He doesn't cause rows, dive about or put in nasty challenges.
Im really at a loss as to why Danny Murphy was criticising his prior antics or Tyler labelling him as a master thespian?
Didn't see that when he was clutching the badge after scoring the winner
When was the last game we matched or dominated midfield against a top side? I'm not talking about wins or moments in a game, I'm talking about control.
Long story short, that's just the way Mourinho sets up his teams. Concede possession and hope individual quality shines through by playing the percentages.
Yes the players are individually to blame but it's just the way things are. With Mourinho's tactics, we are always going to concede possession and control against the top sides/teams that try to play on the front foot.
How was Alli rated that high? He scored a goal alright, but what else?
Is he our best big game player?
It's absurd that his rating is 5.6 on the Caf - below fecking Fellaini.

Refresh my memory, was he carrying any knocks and niggles early on in the season, when he seemed unusually off? The past month or so saw the Herrera that we’ve known when he’s at his best; tenacious, ruthless, and energetic. Long may we continue to see more of this from him.
I'd have him up there with Jesse as #1 for big game mentality. He was everywhere in that second half, absolutely bossed it.
Would be perfect for Liverpool and Klopp. Glad we have him though, especially in big games he excels, going back to his younger days it was the same.
I remember he got injured in pre season against Madrid, he never looked quite right after that. Then he started the season quite poorly, then got injured and had a long lay off. Then came back against Sevilla then got injured again. It's been a frustrating season for him.
