Once again Herrera comes up with a goal and assist after getting the start.
I'm sure Van Gaal's reward would be to bench him next game.

But but but... he's rotating him.
He's come up in the Barça papers. Not sure if that improves his situation when everyone is healthy much less if I buy it, but would welcome him to the team. Underrated player, even on this forum.
However, Van Gaal said Herrera, who has missed the last two games, and Rojo, who hasn't played since the 3-2 win over Southampton last month, are not yet ready to play 90 minutes.
Van Gaal said: "Wayne Rooney, I think he can play and Michael Carrick can play as well.
"I was very pleased with Jones. He has already played for me two times for 15 or 20 minutes. Then he plays for the England team. When I want to select him I can select him for the line-up."
On Herrera and Rojo, he added: "They were injured and they have a rehabilitation period behind their back and everything went well.
"They are also fit to play, maybe not 90 minutes but you never know."
Rooney scored. Against Everton.
Almost another.
Origi could be an amazing player with some confidence. Has loads of skill but doesn't seem confident enough to run at people and use it. Also found it interesting that even with Origi we had a better forward up top this year than last when Sturridge was out. Have to wonder how things turned out like that last season.
The 0-0 result was good as it's another hurdle cleared that won't have to be done on the reverse end of the schedule. All those big games will be at home.

Oh ye of little-to-no knowledge:

Herrera didn't play 90 minutes today, Fellaini came on for him (I forget the minute). He did look a little gassed before it as well.
But you go ahead and keep reading those Barcelona papers, I'm sure they know more about United than Manchester media...
Edit: here's Herrera's injury history with United: http://www.physioroom.com/news/english_premier_league/players/4246/ander_herrera_injury.html
interesting game today
fabregas had his best game of the season
no ivanovic - baba played awful the first 50 minutes, but just because he's fast, he's already 10x more useful than ivanovic lol. settled in as game went on.
no hazard - right decision, he had been god awful this season. willian has suddenly turned into neymar. it won't last, because willian has never been able to be a consistent offensive player, but mgiht as well ride it until willian goes back to being a useless attacker.
loftus cheek wasted his chance today. was pretty useless, even tohugh he was out of pos
Oh ye of little-to-no clue. He's been in the team five different matches where he either came in off the bench or didn't even play. That's out of fourteen matches and he wasn't even in the team for all of those fourteen matches. So he's basically starting about 50% of the time.
To further illustrate the point:
Seems to be a topic amongst supporters. It's all despite the player's willingness to play anywhere. Of course this says a lot, but I'm sure you know more than van Gaal himself and the Manchester media quoting him.
Say goodbye to Hazard Chelsea fans.
