The
reason is why Van Gaal often plays Ander Herrera as a reserve player – Midfielder who
last season became the mainstay for Manchester United, Ander Herrera, and this
season seems to be his appearances more frequent as a substitute player.

This happens
because the united coach, Louis van Gaal, prefer to play a player with the more
attacking type, than a midfielder with a type the tempo regulator of attack,
such as Ander Herrera. The player who has the attacking instinct will greatly
assist van Gaal to fill a post behind striker in a 4-2-3-1 formula.
Former coach fo
the Dutch national team, said that he liked the second striker in that position
(behind Wayne Rooney), more than a third midfielder. That is why, for example,
Herrera did not play as a starting eleven, but he always acted as a substitute
player. Van Gaal argued that Ander Herrera is more of a midfielder control
there.
In the two games
that have been undertaken, against Tottenham (8/8) and Aston Villa (15/8), van
Gaal preferred to play Memphis Depay and Adnan Januzaj than this former
Athletic Bilbao player. And those are the
reason is why Van Gaal often plays Ander Herrera as a reserve player.
