Just days after Alexis Sanchez produced one of the worst dives in Premier League history, Ander Herrera will now compete with the Arsenal forward in the Olympic Men's 10m synchronised diving in 2020.
Seriously though, Herrera was slated for his play acting on Twitter last night after he 'magically went from 12-14 months out with a broken leg and ankle to fully match fit in three seconds'.
The Manchester Derby didn't exactly live up to expectation, so incidents like Herrera's miraculous recovery and Fellaini's 'headbutt' hit the headlines.

Everybody thought Herrera was genuinely hurt but this happened just seconds later...
Other than the above, Herrera has been superb for Manchester United this season.
The Spaniard has won more tackles in the Premier League this season than any other Manchester United or Manchester City player. He also has the most assists (6) most tackles won (60) most passes per game (63) and most interceptions (79) in the squad.
Another big talking point during the Manchester derby was Claudio Bravo's injury.

Bravo was eventually stretchered off after picking up what many believed to be a calf strain, but a far from sympathetic Gary Neville was having none of it:
"A stretcher for a calf strain... please. Oh come on' as the keeper went off.
"He'd not done anything for 20, 25 minutes, he'd not been involved and then he's leaped with his left leg for that catch from the last corner.' said Neville, laughing.
"I'm not quite sure why there's a stretcher on. It's a calf strain. Am I missing something? You don't need a stretcher on for a calf strain. Please.

"He kicked the ball forward after that. Come on. I apologise if he hasn't got a calf strain."
Thoughts on the incident?
Let us know.
