Five of the Best: Ander Herrera Goals for Manchester United

Since joining Manchester United as Louis Van Gaal's first signing, Ander Herrera has established himself as a firm fan favourite at Old Trafford. Although the Spanish midfielder has sometimes struggled for game time under United's Dutch manager, he has developed a habit of finding the net whenever he is given the chance to impress. 

Herrera has gathered a reputation for being clinical when it comes to goal scoring, having scored 8 goals from his first 10 attempts on target in the Premier League. 


With that in mind, we've remembered 5 of our favourite Herrera goals and listed them below: 



5. Vs Everton
One of Ander's best performances in a United shirt came in the 3-0 win at Goodison Park. After an early Morgan Schedelin goal, Herrera managed to double United's lead with a well-taken header from a fantastic Marcos Rojo cross.


4. Vs Leicester
A game that many United fans would rather forget, but it's worth remembering that Herrera scored one of his best goals in his first season in the defeat at the Walkers Stadium. After a miscued shot came his way, the Spaniard adjusted his body to flick the ball past the stranded Kasper Schmeichel with a very clever finish.


3. Vs Club Brugge
Another top finish from the 25 year old, from a defence splitting through-ball by Bastian Schweinsteiger. After being set clear, Herrera showed his class in front of goal with a calm finish past the Brugge goalkeeper.


2. Vs Arsenal
In United's final home game of the 2014/2015 season, Arsenal were the vistiors. A first half volley after a fine cross from the left gave the Arsenal goalkeeper no chance and United the advantage in the match.


1. Vs Yeovil
Without doubt Ander's best goal in a United shirt came in the F.A. Cup against Yeovil. After a Darren Fletcher pass was deflected into his path, Herrera managed to swivel and volley in the same movement to send an outstanding 25 yard strike into the top corner of the Yeovil goal.
