The 29-year-old’s deal expires on 30 June so he is free to leave, with Herrera understood to have been unimpressed at United not moving quicker to secure the services of a player they signed from Athletic Bilbao in 2014 for £29m.

Herrera is paid around £80,000 a week and wants a rise to £200,000 but United are offering closer to £120,000. Although he has become a regular under Ole Gunnar Solskjær the view at Old Trafford is that he could become a squad player, with a move to the French capital now likely.

If Herrera does depart it may clear the way for Scott McTominay to become a regular starter. The Scot was impressive in United’s 3-1 win at PSG in the Champions League last-16 second leg that overturned a 2-0 deficit from the opening leg and eliminated them.
