Manchester United dropped points for just the second game of the campaign after they settled for a 0-0 draw versus Liverpool on Saturday. Both teams had just a solitary chance to score, and ultimately they shared the spoils.
Ander Herrera started the Premier League outing ahead of Marouane Fellaini, who was deemed unfit for the encounter, but the Spaniard failed to put up a commanding display at the heart of the midfield.
The Spain international has been a rare starter for United this term, and his rustiness was on display at Anfield, where he was often dumbfounded with the wave of Liverpool attacks.
Though the midfielder could not be blamed for United’s lacklustre performance, the fans were not particularly pleased with his involvement on the playing field.
Here are some of the best Twitter reactions over Herrera’s showing…
All Herrera gotta do is be caught on camera screaming and everyone will forget about this performance

Ander Herrera is a weakness if you think he's a first XI player in a genuinely contending side. Struggling today.

Ander Herrera is one of the worst "midfielders" this club has ever seen

Ander Herrera is effectively playing like Lee Catermole today.

United settled for a 2-2 draw versus Stoke City following the previous international break, and the Anfield game brought up a similar result, although the players looked a bit jaded from their travels.
As a result of the draw, Manchester United are two points behind league leaders Manchester City at the top of the table, but Pep Guardiola’s side are making huge calls for the title following their thumping 7-2 victory over Stoke City at the Etihad.
