Officially the preseason of our Red Devils has ended with the last preparation match against Athletic, which ended in a 1-1 draw. In this match, a former Manchester United player much loved by the fans played against the team that projected him worldwide. We are talking about Ander Herrera, who spent five years as a player of England's biggest club.
Herrera arrived at Old Trafford in 2014, coming precisely from Athletic. In that year, the Manchester United board paid 36 million for one of the most promising midfielders in the world, who joined the Red Devils and for five seasons delivered good results, as he won four titles during his stay in the Premier League before leaving for PSG in 2019.
For many, Ander's best years were precisely at Old Trafford, as it was at our club where he reached the highest market value of his career, which according to the Transfermarkt portal was 30 million euros. In addition, as already mentioned, Herrera won four titles with the Red Devils, including the 2017 Europa League.
After spending five years at Manchester United, Ander Herrera is one of the most beloved players by the fans in recent years, as the Spaniard always gave his best and was one of the team's best players during his time at Old Trafford, so now that he faced his former team, he could not help but feel moved to be greeted with applause by the Red Devils fans.
After the match between Athletic and Manchester United, in which Ander Herrera came on as a substitute and was applauded by the United fans, the Spanish midfielder said he was very happy for the reception from the fans. "Of course it touches me. It means that I have done something good at the club. I always give everything on the pitch. I was proud to be a Manchester United player (...) Thank you to everyone for their love, for their support. They know that I will never forget them," he said.
