Being thrown on during the 87th minute doesn't really count as a chance. He hasn't been given a proper go at all.

From helping lead Ajax to the latter stages of the Champions League to being benched by McFred. It doesn't make any sense at all.

It’s been an odd signing, no doubt he is a neat and tidy little player, but when he’s had those 2 or 3 minutes on the pitch he’s hardly been involved, my guess is a fair bit more benchwarming

If I remember correctly Beeks to Real Madrid was nailed on but they didn’t have the money and we seemingly swooped in because the fee was cheap and he was available. Bit of a brainless signing.

I can tell you what will happen with him if you send me one bitcoin.

He did look better in the last friendly, Everton, he's put on a bit of muscle and he was passing forwards as well as sideways

whose place would he take?

Andreas Pereira’s, apart from not being as useful.

Exactly where would I find a bitcoin? Can I get one from the bank? And what is your account number and iban?.

Signing him didn't.

McFred aren't his competition though. Bruno and Pogba are. I know he's had limited opportunities but he's still shown nothing to suggest he should be in ahead of those two.

He can play anywhere in midfield. He had a very good game in the pivot with Matic against Everton.

When he was at Ajax he wasn't the most advanced midfielder.

Maybe it's because so many United fans refer to him as Beeks, which has to be the worst nickname in football at the moment.

But you aren't going to put him in a pivot with Pogba are you?

If we drop one of McFred and opt for a more advanced option there, that spot goes to Pogba every single time.

VDB - £40m
Mata - £40m
Matic - £40m

See any pattern?

I reckon a few sporadic appearances here and there like last season, and then a January loan somewhere, followed by a summer transfer.

--------------------------------------------

A lot of the time he was and it was his best role by a mile.

Frenkie de Jong and Lasse Schone were the deeper midfielders.

McFred have shown more in United shirts than aDonnymous, so it does actually make sense why they play and he doesn’t. Plus he was signed to be cover for Bruno anyway.

Herrera 2.0. Another player not appreciated by the club.

posted on 20/8/21

Genuinely think we signed him in the expectation that somebody was going to cough up for Pogba.

At his age and ability he needs to be somewhere where he starts most weeks. That's never going to be at Utd. He just doesn't fit in the team.

Happy to keep him as a squad player however I think this will be his last season at the club. He may even leave in January.

Far too early to be predicting he leave.

Who plays In midfield if Pogba goes this month or he or Pogba get injured? ?

Herrera wasn’t actually that good. Yes he tried hard and moaned at referees but in reality we don’t miss him at all.
