Manchester United fans react to Ander Herrera transfer news in predictable fashion

Manchester United revealed on Saturday morning that Ander Herrera will leave the club at the end of the season.

The Spaniard's departure was confirmed in interesting fashion, with the club uploading a one-minute Twitter video of Herrera addressing the club's fans.

"There is red in my heart, I knew it from the first time I played here and in the moment that i started to wear it," he says. "A club with thousands of fans that respect and remember all the players who give everything.

"I felt special when I heard my name chanted. I felt proud when the fans decided I was part of this incredible history. Every time I represented this club, in every game, in wins and losses, even when I couldn't help from the grass, I understood what this club means.

"I am going to remember each of the almost 200 matches that I have played with this jersey, because playing for the greatest club in England has been true honour. Thanks for these five amazing years."

Herrera was a popular player with United's supporters and there were plenty of negative reactions to the news of his exit.

This is sad.

He always gave his all.

Can we go back in time and start Saturday morning again?

How has this been allowed to happen?

State of this club.

There must be a boost around the corner.

We're all emotional right now.

Thanks for everything.
