Dissagree, reckon he's more than good enough. His passing is the only part of his game that needs work, everything else is on point. Far from fellaini who's nothing but a ball chest controlling nuisance.

Why? He's class. Scores goals, gets assists, does loads defensively and is excellent on the ball. Vidal would be an upgrade on him for a box to box position but that's about it really. He's probably the best all round midfielder in the premier as well.
I mean in his current deeper role he plays, his passing just isn't good enough imo especially his long range passing. I think he can be very good as the furthest forward midfielder though where he can help link up with the forwards. We have been heavily linked with Gundogan and I think LVG want's him to play in Herrera's current position or maybe he will replace Fellaini, I'm not sure.
would say Aaron Ramsey
Look how happy Ronaldinho is to meet Cory Matthews.
Ah, I think he's perfectly fine in the box to box role, so long as it's Carrick next to him holding. Gundogan I think is being linked to just have more depth and starting quality. Probably Herrera would go to the creative and attacking role, and Gundogan sitting next to Carrick when all fit, but if one of them gets injured then Gundogan either goes to Carrick's position and Herrera moves back to the box to box or Gundogan takes more of a box to box and creative role when Herrera is out. Would be good all around, if Gundogan gets back to pre injury form.
Nah, Herrera is better all around IMO. Is a lot better defensively, better technically on the ball I'd say, though Ramsey is a better goalscorer (Herrera certainly isn't bad at that either though).
Man Utd 1:1 Arsenal
Love him. Love him. Love him.
What a player!
What a player!
Nice finish from him.
Great finish, wonderful movement, what a player.
Bargain.
One of the best buys of the season. Would walk into any midfield in the league in the form he's been in for the past six months or so.

Have to say, Ander's increasing penchant for goals has definitely come as a surprise. He was never particularly prolific at Athletic Club or Zaragoza, despite playing as a #10 at times. 8 total goals for the season from a central midfield position is a quality return, almost as many as he scored in the last 2 seasons combined, and the highest return for a United central midfielder in exactly 10 seasons (Scholes). The team has been crying for a ~10 goals per season central midfielder in the mold of a Toure or Ramsey. Resolves some balance issues, and an added bonus to his overall technique and tenacious style of play. Long may it continue !
Almost any. Would be a tough fit in the Chelsea midfield. Even in City's team he would be competing with Toure for the forward mf role.
Herrera > Toure this season without a doubt. Also he'd get into Chelsea's, with Fabregas going as the 10 I think.
Matic - Herrera - Fabregas
Fernandinho - Toure - Herrera
Doesn't have to be one or the other. He's been brilliant. Top 5 CM in the league this season.
Like him a lot, think he's stalled a bit recently but briliant half there.
Love him. Should easily make double figures for goals next season.
Playing very well, Mata link up is great
He's just superb. That moment near the end where he beat 3 players and almost slipped Falcao in
I definitely thought he was pricy in the summer (and the one before that as well, when we were first trying to buy him) but he looks every bit a £30 million midfielder this season
Fantastic player!
Brilliant player. Great linkups with him and Mata. Had a delightful throughball to falcao who was too slow to read it.
With further additions to midfield this summer, we might have a proper midfield at last.

I hope he's the player we build the new look midfield around this summer. He's too good to either sit on the bench or deputise for Carrick further back.
Very very good. Love watching him play.
So good. Took 3 Arsenal players out the game with those skills near the end of the half. Pity nobody made a decent run.
His improvement this season has been fantastic. Another great finish.
I am surprised how long Sir Alex ferguson has overlooked this problem area of our field. Herrera has been more than a blessing to our team considering the option we currently have when he is not fit. Some people on here stress the importance of Carrick, but I believe Herrera is a much more vital player to United. Nevertheless, great signing and I hope he can continue this form into next season.Have to say, Ander's increasing penchant for goals has definitely come as a surprise.

I call bs or not. On target just means, he could have had plenty more shots.
Great finish for the goal and there was a piece of dribbling near the end that was just sublime.
He's excellent. Anyone putting hypothetical teams without him in their side is off their rocker.
Indeed, very "hot Herrera"
I thought he was very good today, his all round game is so good, if we get better CM's in there with him we will have some midfield.
If Moyes had signed him he'd still have a job here.
It's a shame we couldn't have signed him a year earlier really. He's going to become a very important player for us over the next few years.
It seems a long time ago now when he was struggling to get into the team. Now I can't imagine it without him.
