Champions League: How Ole Gunnar Solskjaer May Claim Victory Against Barcelona 

Herrera To Destroy

Ander Herrera will be the destroyer in this tie

Herrera has been used to great effect to mark out the opposition's most dangerous players. And against Barcelona, he may be asked to do the dirty job once again and break up Barcelona's play.

This will be by no means a simple task for the rugged Spaniard, but it is something that has to be done if United are to stand any chance. Herrera’s main job will be shadowing and hustling the Barcelona midfield and make sure that not too many balls get to their forward line.

If Herrera can stop the forward's ball supply, then Manchester United may just end up walking away with something from this tie.

The Spaniard’s contract situation has been dragging out for a while now and it doesn’t look like it will be solved anytime soon, but his head should be in the game. If he’s looking for a move from Old Trafford during the close season, this is the game that will determine if the big teams will come for him.

Also, if he performs well, United will want to tie him down and give him the kind of wages he’s been demanding for.
