Louis van Gaal unhappy with Ander Herrera question

Louis van Gaal refuses to discuss the reasons as to why Ander Herrera rarely starts for Manchester United.

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal reacted angrily to a question about Ander Herrera's situation at the club.

The Spanish midfielder was one of Van Gaal's first signings last summer, with United having paid Athletic Bilbao a reported £24m to conclude the deal.

However, despite having been a regular during the opening few weeks of the campaign, the 25-year-old has not started a game since December 2, which has resulted in speculation regarding Herrera's future at Old Trafford.

When a journalist asked the United boss for an explanation, he responded: "You are asking always about the player who is not playing. Three weeks ago it was Falcao. It's unbelievable. I can only line up 11 players.

"It's not so interesting that you talk about [the fee paid]. Paddy McNair is also important and he cost nothing. I am not discussing [the overlooking of Herrera] with you."

Herrera has made 14 appearances this season, from which he has scored three goals.
