Ander Herrera reveals how Man Utd team-mate Juan Mata makes him mad
And I was sent off in that game!
Manchester United star Juan Mata believes that his former club Chelsea should still be considered contenders for the English Premier League (EPL) title, despite a poor start to the season.
Mata got a rare chance to play behind the striker during United’s 2-1 defeat to PSV Eindhoven last month.
Herrera has had a good start to the season with United while his form following the turn of the year in the last campaign was scintillating.
Van Gaal hoping defender can get back to full fitness on worldwide duty.
Herrera scored eight goals in 31 appearances in his first Premier League season after finalisng a £29million move to Manchester United last summer.
Mata has been one of Man United’s most consistent performers since he signed from Chelsea in January 2014 and has quickly become a cult hero at Old Trafford and is always eager to interact with the fans.
Five problems for Van Gaal to solve during the global break.
But now he insists he’s “very happy” in his new position after becoming a key member of the United first-team.
Herrera said: “I wasn’t tough against him because he used to dive!” “We have the best midfielders in the world right now, but I think I have the quality to be in the national team”, he told MUTV. It doesn’t matter where you play, you have to try to help the team.
“I remember when I was 10 or 11 years old scoring a lot of goals”.
“He is not the most incredible character I have ever encountered in football”. Herrera’s United teammates Juan Mata and David de Gea were both part of the matchday squad, but Herrera remains in England with United.
