It seems the Spanish press have finally realised signing Ander Herrera from Manchester United this summer won’t be so easy.
After a raft of transfer rumours, and talking the prospect up, before then talking the player down, it’s been decided Manchester United won’t let him go on a free.
In their Friday edition, Marca report Herrera will now have his contract extended for a further season, as his club ‘unilaterally’ decided it’s the best idea. Yes, shock-horror, Manchester United have come to the decision that keeping Herrera, or getting a transfer fee for him, is better than seeing the player go for free.
Manchester United not getting Herrera signed up would have meant the Spaniard could negotiate with other clubs from January onwards. Marca present Barcelona as a side who were potentially interested, and Atletico Madrid have also been repeatedly pushed forward.
