He likes shooting
Although Herrera netted just five La Liga goals last campaign, the midfielder’s shooting statistics begs the question why that number wasn’t a lot higher.
With an average of 2.1 shots per game the Spanish star is not afraid to have a go at goal and could provide yet another attacking outlet to van Gaal.
Discipline issues
There are always negatives to go with the positives in the case of any new signing and all United can hope for is that Herrera is physical, but not overly so.
English football is famed for being robust, but having received four red cards in his career and a yellow card on average every three-and-a-half games, the Spaniard will have to be careful not to spend his whole time suspended.
