It is a loss, it can't be denied.
Herrera confirms his departure
- Thread starter Wumminator
- Start date
He has been treated ridiculously, he was a huge part of our resurgence under Ole and when he got injured wheels fell off. For a team who wants to counter attack his interception stats are unreal, massive loss.
I was angry at him at first, I get it. But it was probably out of principle and why would a 30 year old turn down a 4 year contact worth 200k a week? One would have to be completely stupid to do that.
Love him and wish him the best but think its better for both parties.
Hope Mata does the same while getting rid of Rojo, Darmian etc.
The downside is we are keeping Young and Jones ffs!

Some players also want to be able to show medals at the end of their career and be set up for life. It looks like he has another baby on the way by the look of the pictures from POTY.
Well done Woody...this is why we can't have nice things!
Good luck to him, he’s the kind of character we needed around here and always gave his all. Wish more had a bit more of his attitude on the pitch. He’ll be missed.
You are saying it is better, but we don't know who United will sign. It might only end up better for Ander.
We knew this was coming, but still doesn't make me any less annoyed.
More than good enough to be a squad option for next 3 years.

Another one for Woodward. It was more important for him to tie down Jones and Smalling, wasn't it?
Can't wait for him to leave.

Totally agree. My best wishes for him.
Love the line....."even when I couldn't support the club from the grass". True Red and should have finished his career here.
One of the few decent signings we've made since Fergie left. I wish we weren't run by morons.
Can’t say I am happy he’s leaving.
However, if his departure is the beginning of massive changes then in the long term it’s both good for player and club.
If he goes and the likes of Sanchez stays then the club will be ridiculed into relegation.

Good player. Great pro who had desire to win. Never gave up.
Only downside to his game was shooting.

If it was purely financial then good riddance but if he left for other reasons I am sad to see him go
That's a bit shit isn't it? The one CM we have who you'd want in your team to win a midfielder battle.
The place is now Fred's.
*Shudders*

Good luck to him, I can understand why he wants to go.
Whose next from the Spanish collection, Mata then Dave?
If Anders wants out, then surely people like Dave will be considering the same.
United on their 4th rebuild since Fergie left, or they can leave and head off to a warmer climate, guaranteed trophies, and a decent wage.

Just another example of how badly this club is run.
One if the few post-Fergie players I had grown to love. I don't blame him for taking the money at this stage of his career. He brought significantly more to the side than a lot of others who are paid a hell of a lot more. He's always been very black and white IMO, a rarity in this day and age.
Best of luck Ander!
Best of luck Ander!
Yeah, player gets offered a contract, asks for silly money, club disagree, player leaves. What a fecking disgrace we are...
This is spot on.
Our renewal policy was always going to come back to bite us, especially without certainty of any success in the near future.
Ultimately we need to start cutting back on the high wages for older players, but we shouldn't have allowed it to get to that stage.
Will be a loss based on the current crop of uninspiring pricks we have the pleasure of calling our players.
Ander gave his all.
We are also paying for the astronomical wages doled out for Woodward. Based on Pog, Rom and Alexis wages, considering their lack of effort, Ander was within his right to ask for higher terms and longer length.
Wish him the best.

Agree with this completely. Don't know why we're celebrating those who CHOSE to leave the club despite being asked to stay. Just feck him off.
Wonder if he'll be like Tevez, Evra and Blind, winning a title and playing in a CL final or semi-final next year? League title is almost guaranteed.
Only because we left it until the last year to start negotiations properly. We should have renegotiated with 2 years left, then we wouldn't be in this situation.
sickening to see given we extended Young, Smalling and Jones
Good Luck Ander!
Good Luck Ander!
The ins and outs of this are still coming to light and will continue to do so for some time but at the moment I'm sad to see Ander go and pretty disgusted at the club officials who let it happen. United are in no position to let good players walk out of the door for nothing.
Herrera has been a fantastic solider for Manchester United, and I wish him the very best for the next step in his career. I have no problem seeing him sign a 5-year deal with PSG instead of a 1-year deal with us. While I hate to see him leave on a free transfer, I think it is for the best of the club long-term. While Herrera and Mata are solid players with fantastic mentality that we could need in the next few years, giving them lucrative 2-3 year contract extensions is probably not the way to go. I think McTominay is ready to be a solid replacement for Herrera, which means that we could use the increased wage budget to go for a new DM.
The same thing is going to happen with De Gea.
Bad news. Best of luck Ander
Pity. Decent player. And double pity because we have to spend money replacing him when we have other holes to fill.
Our next CM signing is going to have to be an instant hit because we no longer have one single reliable CM at the club.
We need two hard working DCMs at least one of whom can pass through the eye of a needle

Yeah poor bloke, had to wait until the final 12 months of his current contract before getting a new offer. Fecking monsters we are, don't know how he had the will to carry on under those conditions, fecking abhorrent working conditions.
Meanwhile Sport Direct workers are on 0 hour contracts and scraping by.
Mixed feelings about this.
He was our little prick, gave it all, every single time.
If it's a grudge, or a beef with someone in the managment, i get it. If it's about getting your paycheck doubled, feck off. He get's plenty.

Another reason for a DoF. The club's excuse for not offering him a contract ages ago was that Mourinho wasn't sure he wanted to keep him.
Close this club down and put us out of our misery.

Will be a huge loss. We need the qualities he brings both on and off the field.
