Ander Herrera is practically unstoppable when he shoots - in fact only one keeper this season has saved a shot of his.

The Manchester United midfielder found the back of the net to open the scoring in the match against Arsenal to take his Premier League tally to six for the season.

Whilst the Spaniard will be pleased with his return in his first season at Old Trafford, he will be delighted with the conversion rate of his shots on target.

Incredibly, Herrera has had seven shots on target this season and six of them have gone in.

The only goalkeeper who managed to save one of his shots this term was Crystal Palace stopper Julian Speroni, who did so in United's recent 2-1 win at Selhurst Park.

If Herrera can continue to be that deadly, expect to hear the shout of 'SHOOOOOT' whenever the midfielder picks it up in future.
