“We are going to follow Ibra…”
Call it man love, a bromance, or unrequited fanboying, but Ander Herrera seems quite smitten with new teammate Zlatan Ibrahimovic. At least that’s the view of Manchester United supporters watching on as true love blooms before their very eyes.
In fairness, the word inside Old Trafford is that most of the squad are in awe of the enigmatic Swede, partly for his abilities on the ball but also his undoubted presence around the place. But it is perhaps Herrera who has made his amore so publicly obvious.
As well as these gushing quotes by the besotted Basque…
“We are going to follow Ibra because we have one of the best players in the world and we have a big leader in our dressing room with him. We are all going to learn from Ibra. It is a unique opportunity for me to learn from a legend like him and I hope to take advantage of that.”
….United fans everywhere have noticed the midfielder’s habit of staring longingly at his new paramour. Not that they blame him for making gooey eyes at the pony-tailed stud, far from it in fact. They just hope the budding romance can be reflected in effective link-up play on the pitch.
