United approach Ander Herrera

Spanish radio station Cadena COPE Catalunya are reporting that Manchester United have approached Athletic Bilbao hoping to sign midfielder Ander Herrera.

The 24 year old midfielder was part of the Bilbao team that comprehensively beat Manchester United over two legs in the 2011/2012 Europa League round of 16 and has caught the eye of a number of Europe’s top sides.

COPE claim United have offered €30m in an attempt to secure Herrera’s services but Bilbao are only willing to do business if the player’s €36m release clause is met.

Herrera has been linked with a number of clubs most recently Barcelona but the player turned down any advances claiming had he joined he would simply have become another face in the crowd:

“For me, Barcelona is too massive.  In their positions, at least in my position, they are perfectly equipped.  The fact that important people like Andoni Zubizarreta and Bielsa think so highly of me is very important and an honour.”

Herrera joined Bilbao in 2011 from Real Zaragoza for €8.5m and whilst his release clause currently stands at €36m, it will rise to €40m for the final two years of the deal.

    Let’see how stubborn moyes and ed woodward will be ashamed on champions league cause it’s crystal clear man utd lacks creativity at the midfield area, the stalemate with our chelsea game showed that we need a playmaker, what makes it very difficult for moyes to sign players, why is he always failing even to lure fellain and baines from his former club, who is a problem in our transfer policy?

    • Yorkie says:

      The reason it was stalemate was because Rooney tried to score himself instead of passing it to RVP when he had only the goalkeeper to beat.

  10. Angu says:

    Moyes please sign us cmidfield players and we’re ready to go, cleverly does not fitt in carrick legs are going he needs support, david moyes man utd is a massive club plz get it dont let down the man who handpicked you, get it this is not everton at utd result matters and not draws.
