Man of the match Herrera dedicates title to Manchester Victim

Ander Herrera committed Manchester United’s Europa League success to the victims of Monday’s terrorist assault.

United defeated Ajax 2-0 in Stockholm on Wednesday night less than 48 hours after 22 people were eliminated and also lots a lot more harmed in a horror attack following a concert at Manchester Arena.

Herrera, that was named guy of the suit, admits it was tough for the players to focus on Tuesday before they flew to Sweden for the masterpiece match.

“We were really, really sad,” he said. “When you think about life and football, you have no choice.

“It was difficult to train yesterday, really difficult for us but the manager told us that the only thing we could do was win this for them and that’s what we’ve done.

“It’s just a football game, it’s just a trophy, but if we can help or if we can support them with this just one per cent it’s enough for us.”

Following the match, Manchester United posted an image on their official Twitter account of the players in the dressing room with the trophy and a banner which said ‘Manchester – a city united’.
