3 players who deserve to start more games for Manchester United

#2 Ander Herrera

The Spaniard deserves to play more games.

Ander Herrera signed for Manchester United from Atletico Bilbao for a reported transfer fee of €36 million. He has won the FA Cup, an EFL Cup, and a Europa League so far for the Red Devils. Ander was even named the club's Player of the Year in the 2016-17 season which was also Jose Mourinho's first season at Manchester United.

Herrera's most significant trait is his passion and selflessness for the club. The Spaniard is a manager's player who obeys all the instructions that are laid out to him before coming on to the pitch.

However, after Nemanja Matic was bought from Chelsea last campaign, Herrera has found himself mostly warming the bench. He is a now a fourth choice midfielder behind Matic, Pogba, and Fellaini. With Matic performing poorly in the last few games, it's time for Jose to give Herrera more opportunity to prove his value in the team.

About the author

A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.

Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.

Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.

The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.

I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
