I just can't express my love for this man. He's our best midfielder since Scholes. Carrick had that one exceptional season, but really as a luxury specialist, whereas Herrera just does everything, every game. He's also the closest thing you can get in the modern game to a Keane, in that you'd trust him more than any other midfielder in our team both to put in the crucial tackle and to put in the crucial through-ball. And he bleeds redder than red.
During that fallow midfield spell under Fergie where Barca were the going concern and we all wanted a sexy Spanish Xavi for United but just kept getting budget strikers instead, we were tracking him. If only we'd just got off our arses and signed him then rather than waiting two and a half years!
If Barca do come for him at some point, we must keep him. I don't care how. Give him Rooney's paycheque if that's what it takes.
