Ander Herrera has finally proved his worth at Old Trafford

The central midfielder that is being courted by Barcelona has enjoyed yet another fantastic season with the Red Devils.

With how the game is today, there are seldom players who really encapsulate what the club they play for are about. However, you can see how much Herrera adores Manchester United and how he is willing to run through brick walls to defend its honour.

A future captain in the making, the Spaniard has been exemplary in following instructions from Mourinho. Which is why, of course, the Portuguese boss is so fond of him and played him 50 times throughout the season.

Herrera might not be the strongest nor the biggest nor the quickest, but he does possess the passion that you would hope for someone to have in United’s midfield. Passion does not win you games alone, of course not, but it does make you push the extra mile and that is certainly what Herrera does.

He gives great balance to the team and also has that snide aspect to his game. Similar to Diego Costa at Chelsea, Herrera likes to the push the limit to see what he can and cannot get away with.
