Man Utd boss Solskjaer hails Herrera: He runs, he wins the ball, plays it simple

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is delighted with the form of Ander Herrera.

The Spaniard is out of contract at the end of the season, but Solskjaer offered him hope of a new deal.

He said: “He's a midfielder, it's a bit different to Paul, to Nemanja with their physical attributes.

“But he runs and he runs, he wins the ball, plays it simple, he makes some good runs into the box as well.

“Even though I let Paul do more that job and Ashley from the right-hand side, but I'll never stop him from making those runs into the box.

“And hopefully he will continue like this. I've always enjoyed watching Ander from when we signed him from Athletic Bilbao. I thought he did really well against us when he played for them as well so he caught my eye then."
