The 24-year-old will boost the midfield option for the Red Devils, who struggled last season. He is the very first signing of the newly appointed United manager Louis van Gaal at Old Trafford.

Herrera has played 33 games for Bilbao last season, scoring five goals and five assists. Here’s how United Fans reacted on Twitter to Herrera’s move.

Ander Herrera is a fantastic signing for @ManUtd as close to the complete midfielder as there is. Only 24 as well. Will only get better — Danny Higginbotham (@Higginbotham05) June 26, 2014

My input on Ander Herrera: Overpriced, but a very good player. Used to be marginalised easily but is always involved now. #MUFC — Sam Tighe (@stighefootball) June 26, 2014

 

Giggs an admirer of Herrera. Wasn’t keen on Thiago. AH more combative & less flashy. Can see the logic of why he’s seen as more “United”. — Greg Johnson (@gregianjohnson) June 26, 2014

 

Phew! It seems the hold up was that United transferred €36m to Herrera’s bank account and he tried to do a runner as a fugitive to the law. — Nooruddean (@BeardedGenius) June 26, 2014

 

Ed’s getting better. In 2014 he’s got Mata, sacked Moyes & signed Herrera.He’s learning. I’m still not 100% convinced pic.twitter.com/gO8hmOK4XG — ManUnitedTalk (@ManUnitedTalk) June 26, 2014

 

Also in relative news, United fans don’t realise what a player they now have in Herrera… — Alain Jude Mixon (@Aljumix10) June 26, 2014
