Will Ander Herrera become a key player in Manchester United?

After the summer of 2015, English "Manchester United" again laid out a round sum in the international transfer market, the fans of the team were noticeably puzzled. What position will one of the most beloved players on the field get, Ander Herrera? Will he go on the field in the starting lineup or will he be placed on the bench by more star and prospective players?

The current "United" is at the stage of formation and constant renewal. Therefore, there is nothing surprising in the fact that over the past 2 years we could see on the field not one dozen new faces. Fans traditionally warmly accept beginners, and when the Spaniard Ander Herrera joined the team in 2014, he was also given a warm welcome.

A stunning ratio of shots against goals and goals

Very soon he won the hearts of the fans for his extremely clever and delicate game, sharp penetrating passes, a good vision of the field and excellent reading of the game. In those games that the Spaniard went out in the starting lineup, he invariably became one of the most important figures. In addition, Ander Herrera received among the fans the nickname "Billiard player" for his stunning statistics of the implementation of strikes. So, at this point in the asset of the 26-year-old midfielder there are already 11 goals for Manchester United. It is noteworthy that the Spaniard for this achievement needed to produce only 13 blows to the target gate of the opponent. Thus, any striker can envy the implementation of strikes with a score of 85%.

Rumors around the football player

At the beginning of the 2015-2016 season, Herrera again found himself on the bench, Louis Van Gull selected as new players the new acquisitions in the person of Memphis de Pai and Antonia Martial. In addition, another Spaniard, Juan Mata, became the recognized leader of the team, and Ander Herrera was satisfied at the beginning of the season with only a substitute. Therefore, there is nothing surprising in the fact that soon in the press rumors about interest in the player from the side of "Barcelona". It's no secret that every good player needs a practice game. However, in the case of "Barcelona" no one will give guarantees that Ander will certainly appear in the starting lineup.

Will of the case

As they say in the people, there would be no happiness, but misfortune helped. Injury and midfield player injuries, Memphis's lack of readiness for a dense fight in the English Premier League bared the problems of Manchester United. Thus, in the principled game with Liverpool due to the absence of Captain Wayne Rooney and the replacement of Juan Mata, the right to beat a penalty was automatically given to Ander Herrera. Footballer justified the expectations of the coach and fans, breaking through strongly and precisely into the upper left corner.

In an interview with one of the authoritative publications, the Spaniard confessed that he had never before beaten a penalty, but was the third in the team list of penalty shooters due to his clear implementation of the blows. And when the first two players from the list were not on the field, Ander assessed the situation and struck as hard as possible so that goalkeeper Simon Minole had no chance to repel the blow. This goal brought United's victory, and in the next games Herrera already invariably appears in the starting lineup and continues to replenish statistics of accurate shots and assists.
