Ander Herrera is not set to leave Manchester United, despite recent reports suggesting the Spaniard is on the verge of agreeing a transfer to Paris Saint-Germain.
Liam Corless of the Manchester Evening News wrote on Friday that previous reports suggesting the midfielder was closing in on a summer move to PSG were false.
It’s understood United want to trigger the one-year extension in Herrera’s contract, while it’s added that “the player’s camp also expect him to stay put.”
The 29-year-old fell out of favour under Jose Mourinho but has become a much more important member of the squad since the Portuguese was replaced by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Herrera started in six of 10 Premier League appearances with Mourinho this term but has failed to make United’s XI in only one of his nine leagues games under Solskjaer.
Herrera was recently recognised for his resurgence at Old Trafford:
Marca confirmed a report from The Sun that said PSG had offered Herrera a long-term contract worth £150,000 per week at the Parc des Princes, which would be tempting for a player on the brink of turning 30.
Author Tom McDermott asked why United’s board had allowed the contract of a midfielder in his prime to run so close to its expiration, along with other questions for the club’s executive powers.
