Manchester United players were given some time off after their FA Cup semi-final heroics on Saturday and Ander Herrera decided it was a good time to invite questions from supporters.

On Wednesday night, with time to kill ahead of Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich's Champions League semi-final first leg, Herrera tweeted: "Got any questions? Am chilling at home right now and will do my best to answer. Cheers!"

The questions flooded in and Herrera, to his credit, answered plenty, from favourite ever player (Lionel Messi), to favourite player as a child (Paul Scholes) and is David de Gea human ("Don't know yet").

On De Gea, Herrera was also asked whether the Spanish goalkeeper, whose protracted move to Real Madrid last summer collapsed at the 11th hour, would leave United this summer.

His reply:

That diplomatic response was not greeted as fervently as the Basque's reply to a tweeter who wanted to know if United would be signing Cristiano Ronaldo in the summer.

United tried to re-sign the Portuguese No.7 in 2013 and last summer but failed on both occasions. Ronaldo has regularly been linked with a summer departure from Real and United fans remain desperate to see him back in a red shirt after his six glorious seasons in the 2000s.

Herrera does, too, it seems:

United need a striker as well, though. They have been linked with Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Louis van Gaal admitted Romelu Lukaku 'interests' him and Mourinho's history with Alvaro Morata has predictably seen his name crop up in the gossip columns.

Harry Kane might be the most ideal No.9 for United. He finished runner-up to Sergio Aguero for the Premier League Golden Boot last season but is one ahead of the City striker this campaign.

Knowing full well Aguero will not be swapping blue for red in Manchester, Herrera was asked who he preferred out of the duo:

Herrera signed off by saying: "Thanks for your questions but I am going to watch the game Atletico - Bayern ! We will do it again very soon!" He also expressed his approval for Saul Niguez's winner in the game. Saul is another player who has been heavily linked with United/

Hopefully there'll be more #AskAnder sessions in the future.
