Herrera's 2016/17 Season Review

Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera has enjoyed yet another memorable season at Old Trafford, winning three trophies and being named Player of the Year by supporters.

The campaign spanned 64 games across 10 different countries and, now that all is said and done, the Spaniard believes the Reds can look back on 2016/17 fondly. 

In an interview with ManUtd.com during the final few days of the season, Herrera reflects on the key moments from the campaign gone by and explains how the fans inspire him...

“Firstly, there are a lot of good things to take from this season. We’ve won trophies; the Community Shield against Leicester, who were probably the most famous team in the world at the time! What they did last season was amazing, of course. We also beat Southampton in the League Cup final, it was an amazing game, and it was great to win in the last few minutes. Of course, this club is about trophies – if I have to choose moments, I’d always choose trophies.

“In the league, I think Chelsea at home was maybe the most satisfying performance of the season. Not from a personal point of view, because I never think personally, but for the team. We were facing the league leaders and, at that time, they were scoring in every game and no-one could beat them - but we did it. It was a very good day, so if I could choose one game, I’d choose that one.

“The unbeaten run we went on was very difficult, it was a record for the club. We could have won some of the games, particularly at home, where we had too many draws. I remember drawing away at Stoke in the last minute, for example, but in general I think we deserved more points that we had. But, no excuses. Sooner or later, football is fair, so there are no excuses from us.

“I really did enjoy the Player of the Year awards evening. Winning the award is a big thing for me and I’m very happy to get it because, when you see the history of the winners, you realise the amazing players who won it. I’m happy to be a part of that; it’s not easy to win that trophy for a club like this one. The votes from the fans push me to keep fighting and giving everything for United."
