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.

Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
