Ander Herrera could actually be available for Manchester United Monday night versus West Bromwich Albion. Herrera suffered a fractured rib in United’s victory of West Ham, leaving the match with 15 minutes to play. It was thought that he would miss six weeks.
However, it’s clear that Ander Herrera has progressed and he supposedly told his Manager Louis van Gaal that he will take a painkilling injection and be available in the very next match.

Herrera struggled with was labeled a “short term injury” earlier this season, but he has still scored twice in the four times that he has been featured.
He has impressed in his time in Van Gaal’s diamond. His goal at Leicester City was one of the highlights of the season thus far.
