TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Despite not scoring when Manchester United crushed LA Galaxy at Rose Bowl Stadium, Pasadena, California, United's new recruit Ander Herrera was selected as Man of the Match. Herrera had the title after United released a polling in their official twitter account, with 88 percent voting for Herrera as the brain behind the victory.
The surprising inception of Herrera is not by random guts, but the fact that the player scored 3 assists in his first ever debut for United. Herrera was deemed as the new recruit that might as well serve at playmaker position in United, a post missing.
The Red Devils signed Herrera from Athletic Bilbao with an astonishing transfer fee of 28.4 million pounds. Last season with Bilbao, Herrera scored 5 goals and 5 assists, an impressive performance for a midfielder.
Juan Mata, fellow spaniard, spoke highly of the player, despite the fact that the two share similar position. Mata believes that Herrera can have a glittering career in United, citing that the former Bilbao man has a remarkable talent that United need, after losing last season in agony.
