About Ander Herrera in brief
Ander Herrera Agüera (born 14 August 1989) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Paris Saint-Germain and the Spain national team. He began his career at Real Zaragoza, before moving to Athletic Bilbao in 2011. In 2014, he signed for Manchester United for €36 million. He won four trophies with the club, including the FA Cup, EFL Cup and UEFA Europa League. He has also won tournaments with Spain at under-20 and under-21 level and represented the nation at the 2012 Summer Olympics. Herrera made his senior international debut in November 2016. He was named as the French Ligue 1 player of the year for the 2016–17 season. He is expected to move to Paris in the summer of 2019, when he will join the French giants for a fee in the region of £60 million and a five-year deal. He also has a contract with Spanish side Sevilla until the end of the 2018-19 season. Herrera has also been linked with a move to Inter Milan and Inter Milan’s Serie A rivals Atletico Madrid. He made his professional debut in the Segunda División in the 2008–09 season. In 2011, he made his La Liga debut in a 0–0 home draw against Trabzonspor.
In his third and final season he played 33 league games as Athletic qualified for the UEFA Champions League for the first time in 16 years. Herrera was the subject of a £24 million offer from Manchester United in August 2013, but the bid was rejected. A year later, United tried to sign him again. On 26 June 2014, Athletic announced on their official website that they had rejected a €36 million bid from United for Herrera. United announced on the same day they had completed the signing of Herrera on a four-year contract, pending the receipt of an International Transfer Certificate. He played 67 minutes before being substituted for Marouane Fellaini. Herrera picked up an injury during training and missed Manchester United’s next two games against Sunderland and Burnley. He scored his first goal for the club in his first game back after returning from injury, against Queens Park Rangers on 14 September 2014, and made an assist as Manchester United won the game 4–0. On 4 April, Herrera scored the first brace of his career to help United beat Aston Villa 3–1; he was also named man of the match for his performances.
