Ander Herrera has won the final Player of the Month award for the 2017/18 season, as voted for by the Manchester United supporters.
Although May was a disappointing month overall for United, Herrera’s showings were one of the highlights.
After sitting out our first game of the month against Brighton & Hove Albion, Ander played the full 90 against West Ham. Our no.21 played in a slightly more defensive role at the London Stadium in the absence of Nemanja Matic and his work rate ensured we emerged from the encounter with a clean sheet.
Herrera was then a substitute in the final league game of the season against Watford, when his team-mate Michael Carrick waved farewell to Old Trafford following his final appearance as a player.
He was selected to start at Wembley in the Emirates FA Cup final and, despite it being a frustrating occasion, Herrera was at the heart of our best attacking moves and his incisive passing nearly cut Chelsea open on several occasions.
Congratulations on your award, Ander.
