5 reasons why Manchester United should renew Ander Herrera's contract at all costs

#2 His infectious energy in the midfield

Solskjaer's arrival showed that United had a beast in their ranks all the while

There is something about Ander Herrera that is so exciting on the pitch. While Mourinho lamented his lack of a "mad dog" on the pitch, Solskjaer's arrival showed that United had a beast in their ranks all the while. It just needed a trained eye to spot Herrera and the Norwegian was quick to give the Spaniard his due - a place in the first team. And Herrera has been inspired so far.

The Spaniard has taken to Solskjaer's tactics like wildfire to a pack of dry leaves. He has relished the opportunity to spread his wings and has used that freedom to great effect. Herrera has been brilliant himself, but the mark of true greats are their abilities to make everyone around them better. And the Spaniard has done just that so far.

Herrera's presence has been an assurance for an out of form Matic and has helped the Serbian rediscover his touch. It has helped Paul Pogba break away his shackles and drive forward with renewed vigour.

Lindelof has grown in stature knowing that there's a bundle of energy ahead of him, always ready to fall back and help. Ander Herrera has helped his United team get back into the game and allowing him to leave would be a disaster.
