Tearful Ander Herrera walks out of Man United podcast

“I don't want to, it's not the moment to talk bad about anyone and I am not going to do it, but after my third season with the club I expected a little bit more from the club at that time. "I got the Player of the Year award by the fans and the club didn't call me that summer to sign a new contract, and they did with other players. That was painful for me, honestly."

Ander Herrera then referenced a photo he had taken with his daughter before breaking down in tears and leaving the room. The midfielder returned to finish the rest of the podcast but tributes have since poured in from fans who recognise his love for the club. "I miss this guy, what a player and always gave everything for the badge," wrote one fan. https://twitter.com/KJH_Graphics/status/1604081702263033857 Another tweeted: "He was truly my favorite player at the time. Always put in his best. Captain material." https://twitter.com/AhmetMUFC/status/1604071221464731648 A third said: "This guy played for the badge every single time he got on the pitch, you could literally see how much he loved the club, genuinely one of my favourite United players of all time. i wish they’d given him that extension."
