Latest MSM rumour this morning. Ander Herrera just listed by PSG because of Messi, and could be on his way back to OT.

Won’t happen…but of lazy journalism there. Talk of tolisso though and I’d take him at the reported €10m price.

Was a very good player, not a great, but should have been made captain back when, as his attitude would have been infectious to his team mates (kinda like Jordan of d scouser)

I think he was a pretty decent player for us.
At a really cheap price and okay wages, someone who acted like he really loved United.
I'll have back because we need a nasty player and honestly we have no one like that.
Won't be coming back, but he's better than matic, fred and mctominay defensively.

I always liked Ander, but more for his attitude than his contributions on the pitch. I’d welcome him back under normal circumstances as I’d much rather have him in the starting lineup than Fred, but we’re overstocked as it is in that department (Beeky can’t get a game to save his life) and he’s not at all what we need in regards a DM.

We have missed him in midfield. A far better player than Matic, Fred and Mctom.

Re Ander Herrera.
Since 2019/ 20 season when he left, Ander Herrera played a total of 40 games for PSG. (avg 20 games a season) He missed a considerable amount of games due to injuries.

Moreover I don't think he s what we re looking for - a more defensive minded CM.

As much as i like him i wouldn't touch him because of injuries.

If even Herrera wouldn’t touch him I think that says it all. We want to be looking forward not back.

Kived united my ass. Loved himself. Went for the money. Hardly kicked a ball for psg. Average player.
I read people call messi a mercenary what does that make herrera. Never delivered anything at united.

Ken,

Once again 100% agree but I gave that opinion when he played for us and it didn’t go down too well so I thought I would reign it in a bit.

Ander was never good enough. Worked his tail off, but he’s no upgrade on what we have.

Ken i think you underestimate the lad both on and off the pitch. What would you do if your team wait until last months of your contract to offer you a contract extension? I think you would understand that you are not loved and wanted and if you find a better proposal you would jump at the first chance. I would do the same even if i support the team and he did the same. He was clearly not wanted, we clearly didn't rate him that high and we didn't make a contract proposal at the right time. At the time we keep giving contracts at Jones Smalling Lingard because we didn't want to lose the "assets" but not to him.
As for his performances? I know you will not agree but he was the best midfielder in our team for the last 10 years. I can't count the times he was by far our best player in a derby. In Mourinhos first derby against City they schooled us in first half until Herrera came on and we had a game again. Against Liverpool in which he made record of interceptions tackles etc, against Chelsea who took Hazard in his pocket and made an asist too (if i remember correctly) and many more. In the road to Europa League he was also one of our best players and he always was a big game player. You can see Paris last years games at Champions League and he also was one of the better players.
The guy don't have the physicality and pass of Pogba neither the technique of Mata but he was an all round very good player. Give him some credit. He could be our own Henderson. He wasn't our favourite player when he came, he was one of my favourites before when he played for Bilbao. And I assure you in their system (Bielsas? ) he was even better and all round excellent.

Imo he was slight before average Herrera fit his entire time at the club. He played a few really good games in 5 years.
His wife is French he had the psg deal lined up for 12 months he was always going there he never had any intending of staying. He is a diving cheating little sneak on the pitch imo. Feigns injury and was not a player i ever enjoyed watching extremely limited in most aspects of the game at that level not withstanding his energy and effort.
I appreciate you think different but that's what I see.
Giving it all that woe is me i'm not loved or appreciated yet has his psg deal lined up for over a year full of crap he was.

Anders won't be returning to United's treatment room. Always thought he had more to offer and used to roll around dramatically.
As for Tolisso, seems to be permanently injured. Is he actually any good?


18.) 12 Aug 2021
12 Aug 2021 10:32:58
I’d keep well clear of Tolisso.

As I said give Garner a shot - he’s too good for the Championship so nothing to lose by giving him some minutes. Even Bruno has singled him out as a talent.

Ken i appreciate too that you think differently but I simply think you are wrong and don't remember him very well. He very rare had a bad game. He simply hadn't much hype because he wasn't master of something. Not the Hollywood pass of Pogba, not the excellent close control of Mata, not distacting the tempo like Scholes or the perfect passing of Kroos. But he had it all in an acceptable level which made him an all round very good midfielder in both boxes and he was the kind of players that made his mates play better because of his passion cleverness and moving, he was there to provide cover for them and he was there to help them when they were in blind positions.
Pogba (and even Bruno) seems good for 2 minutes in highlights with ball in every match, Ander was the opposite, he was excellent for 88 minutes and he wasn't bad with the ball either.

While i don't think bringing him back is on now, i think some people here are being very harsh on the guy .

If you go back to the good games / runs of games we had under LVG, Mourinho and Solskjaer you'll find that Herrera played a big part in them, when we went on the great run under Ole early on in his time as managaer it was no coincidence that it ended when Ander got injured .

When we had a run of about six games under LVG when we played some good stuff, ander was a big part of that, especially his link up with Mata .

And he very often got asked to do jobs that were'nt his natural game and went and did them . When he was allowed to play in a midfield three, close players down and then be constructive with it it when he won it he was good .

As for being snide and fouling etc, i never had a problem with it as it showed he wanted to win and some of our other players could have done with a bit of that in them .

I think Ander was decent for the team he was playing in at the time but we had to improve on him if we were ever going to challenge for the league.


22.) 13 Aug 2021

Herrera. I know you think I'm wrong i think your wrong and that you don't remember him very well.

Its a simple case of 2 different opinions. I don't like his style and think he is no better than Fred. Bottom line neither is good enough and both have proven that.

Ander is far better player than our current central Midfielders.

I wouldn't want him back now either, but seriously, he was the best CM we've had in a long time.

Not quite a true playmaker, but he still had very good passing, excellent close control and composure on the ball, was pretty much immune to pressing, fabulous work rate and determination, an absolute warrior with just the right amount of nasty mixed in.

I agree he came here for money and never truly loved the club, but he was professional and gave everything on the pitch. If Pogba had half the attitude Herrera did he'd be the best player in the world.
