Ander Herrera is set to leave Manchester United on a free transfer this summer after reaching a pre-contract agreement with Paris Saint-Germain, according to reports.

The Spaniard is out of contract at the end of the season and free to negotiate with foreign clubs, with the big-spending French champions reportedly putting together an offer worth over £170,000-a-week to convince him to leave Old Trafford.

And now the Daily Record claims Herrera has decided to end his five-year stay in Manchester and has agreed terms with PSG.

While Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had been keen to keep the former Athletic midfielder at the club, he was left ‘unimpressed’ by United’s offer and instead opted for a new chapter in his career elsewhere.




It has been suggested that Herrera was holding out for as much as £200,000-a-week to stay at United, but was offered closer to half that sum.

PSG have been eager to add more quality in midfield, with Adrien Rabiot set to leave on a free transfer in the summer, and will be delighted to have tied down Herrera so soon.

Herrera’s probable exit is a blow for Solskjaer, with the Spaniard emerging as a key component of the Norwegian’s midfield and playing a crucial role in United’s upturn in form since Jose Mourinho’s exit.

‘We want the best players in this club,’ Solskjaer told Norwegian media when asked about Herrera’s renewal. ‘Let’s hope club and player find an agreement.

‘We will have a strong squad next season. Ander has been very good since I came in.’

Herrera joined from Athletic in 2014 while Louis van Gaal was in charge, making 187 appearances for the club in all competitions and winning the FA Cup, EFL Cup and Europa League.
