Manchester United midfielder Herrera has flourished under Solskjaer ever since the 46-year-old’s appointment as interim boss back in December.
Together, the duo have helped the Red Devils climb up the Premier League table and above Chelsea and Arsenal into the top four.
And Herrera has now lauded Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, saying he has a ‘quality that is difficult to have in football’ – which is getting all players to buy into his methods.
The Basque star told Four Four Two: “It’s not my business and I respect the decisions of the people that work for the club.
“All I can say is that if I was sporting director of a club tomorrow, I would sign Ole.
“But I respect the people that take the decisions and I’m not going to say what they should do.
“Ole has a quality that is difficult to have in football, which is to have the affection of all the players – the players who play and the ones who don’t play as much.
“I don’t know how he did it, but he had that click with players who can change games. He’s clicked with Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford, Paul Pogba and Jesse Lingard.
“He’s very close to the players, but he also knows that sometimes he needs to stay away and not give too much information to the players day by day.
“When he speaks, everybody listens, because he is saying something important – something that can help the team to win.
“He’s not interfering every minute and that’s a quality as well. Every time he speaks, you listen, because he doesn’t always give you information.”
Solskjaer took over from Jose Mourinho in December at a time where the 56-year-old was struggling.
But Herrera has refused to criticise his manager, adding: “The only thing I can say is thank you to him because he improved me as a player.
“He did everything for the club to try to win.
“Actually, the first season was very successful. In the second season we lost the FA Cup final and finished 2nd, so maybe if we had won that final, we could have said that season was successful too.
“I’m very thankful to Mourinho for what he did for me and for the club. I became player of the year under him. He did good things for me.
“I have a good relationship with him and, of course, I spoke to him when he left. He texted me a very nice message – something private between me and him. I have so much respect for him.”
