Everyone’s saying the same thing after Ander Herrera sees red for Man Utd

Once a red, always a red.

Ander Herrera has been one of Manchester United’s few bright sparks over the last couple of seasons.

The Spanish Under-21 international impressed when given a chance under Louis van Gaal, and has really come into his own since being given a proper run in the first-team under José Mourinho.

As well as his ability on the ball and general popularity among Manchester United fans, you might have noticed that he likes a tackle.

And by tackle, we mean foul.

So when he was dismissed against Burnley for two yellow cards, it would be fair to say quite a few people weren’t exactly shocked.

Herrera had picked up 16 yellow cards in his first two seasons at Old Trafford, but this was the first time he has been sent off while playing for the club.

He will now miss the trip to Swansea next weekend, but as the sending-off was for two yellow cards he will be back to face Arsenal the following week.

The game at Old Trafford ended goalless, with former United goalkeeper Tom Heaton keeping out his previous employers despite Mourinho’s team registering 26 shots and winning 19 corners against the Clarets.

United are now on a run of just one win in seven games in the league, leaving them eighth in the table at the time of writing.
