Eric Dier Slams Ander Herrera for 'Ridiculous' Elbow and Warns Man Utd Star: I'll See You Soon

Published on: 15 November 2016

England midfielder Eric Dier has accused Ander Herrera of elbowing him in theface during the 2-2 draw at Wembley on Tuesday, as reported byTalk Sport.


Making his international debut for Spain, Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera was introduced as a substitute during the second half and inspired his team to an unlikely 2-2 draw.

But Dier, who played the full ninety minutes, slammed the debutant for an alleged elbow during an off-the-ball altercation and pursued the former Athletic Bilbao star after the final whistle to demand an explanation.


"I don't care if someone kicks me or something like that but I've made a pass and it was a long time afterwards...he's elbowed me in the face and I just can't see why. For me, it's just ridiculous," the 22-year-old Spurs midfielder said.


"I don't mind people kicking each other at times and stuff but that's just dirty and not needed."

He continued:"He's saying he didn't do it but I think it's pretty clear. If you watch it, I think it's pretty clear what he did and I can feel it on my cheek now. So I know what he did, and I don't like that kind of stuff.


"It's okay. It's just football. These things happen. But I don't know why he did it, to be honest. That's why I was angry.

"It was just strange and it's not nice."


The two will meet again next month when United take on Tottenham and after revealing Herrera did not apologise, Dier warned the 27-year-old:"I don't need him to apologise. I'll see him soon."
