Manchester United fans have been somewhat frustrated at the absence of Ander Herrera from the starting line-ups at the start of this season, and Louis van Gaal has explain his decision in not starting with the Spaniard, as he prefers a second striker in the team rather than a third midfielder.
“I like a second striker in that position (behind Rooney) more than a third midfielder. That is why, for example, Herrera is not playing but is always coming on as a substitute, because he is more of a controlling midfielder there.” Van Gaal said.
It looks as though Ander Herrera is just going to have to sit tight and bide his time, similarly to last season. When he gets his chances he is going to have to take each and every one of them, and hopefully he’ll get a start in European competition and prove exactly what he can do.
