While it's been far from a vintage year for Manchester United, despite the copious amounts of money spent by manager Jose Mourinho over the course of the summer, the recent win over Chelsea at Old Trafford has lifted spirits somewhat.

Key to that victory was a certain Ander Herrera. The Spaniard is firmly establishing himself as one of the most important players in the United XI with a series of resolute, all-action, performances in the middle of park, helping mark Blues star Eden Hazard out of the game.

So, there has been little surprise amongst fans online following reports from the Daily Mail in regards to a potential new deal for the La Roja star.  Out of contract at the end of next season, the 27-year-old is reportedly expected to receive a bumper new offer from top brass at the club, likely to rake in a cool £120k-per-week.

With that in mind, here's a closer look at how United fans reacted to such reports.
