Transfer news: The reason Herrera is leaving Man Utd for PSG

06 apr 2019

In reports that have dominated headlines this week, it appears as though Spanish midfielder Ander Herrera will not be renewing his deal with Premier League giants Manchester United; instead opting to leave the Red Devils on a free contract at the end of his current deal to join Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain.

According to what has been reported by English tabloid newspaper The Sun, PSG edged ahead of Manchester United to secure Herrera's services as a result of the money they were prepared to offer the Spaniard.

PSG have reportedly offered Herrera a salary of over eight million euros per season; more than Manchester United were prepared to offer and, therefore, his spell in the North of England will be coming to an end.

This opens United's market to sign a midfielder in the summer; with Lazio's Sergej Milinkovic-Savic perhaps of interest again - after the Red Devils were interested in the Serbian last summer.
