The Spaniard was voted the Manchester United player of the month of February by the United fans. This was despite the fact that he missed almost 2 games in the month due to injury.

Herrera continues to be a vital cog in the centre of the field for United. Even though United lost against PSG - the Red Devils' first loss under Solskjaer so far - the Spaniard ensured that the defeat did not demoralize the team. He inspired United to a memorable win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the FA Cup, where he opened the scoring himself.

Against Fulham in the following game, Herrera continued to run the midfield, helping United to another victory. However, disaster struck against Liverpool, as he pulled his hamstring and had to leave the field as early as the 21st minute. He subsequently missed the following game against Crystal Palace.

As of now, Herrera's return date is unknown, but it has not stopped the Spaniard from climbing one place to stay 3rd among the top contenders for the Manchester United Player of the Season, at the start of March.
