Bruno Fernandes has become the first Manchester United player to react to the proposed European Super League.
Premier League giants Man United are among 12 clubs who have agreed to join a new tournament.
The Red Devils released a statement on Sunday, outing their plans to compete in the ESL.
And Fernandes has now hit out at the controversial project, becoming the first potential ESL player to have his say on the new competition.
The Portuguese international commented on Daniel Podence's post on Instagram and then shared it on his own social media.
He commented: "Enorme," which translates to huge, before posting: "Dreams can't be buy."
Former United midfielder Herrera slammed the concept of the ESL, tweeting: "If this European super league advances, those dreams are over, the illusions of the fans of the teams that are not giants of being able to win on the field competing in the best competitions will end.
"I love football and I cannot remain silent about this. I believe in an improved Champions League but not in the rich stealing what the people created, which is nothing other than the most beautiful sport on the planet."

Ex-Arsenal star Mesut Ozil also voiced his opinion on Twitter.
He said: "Kids grow up dreaming to win the World Cup and the Champions League - not any Super League. The enjoyment of big games is that they only happen once or twice a year, not every week.
"Really hard to understand for all football fans out there."
