Manchester United 'to offer Ander Herrera new deal'

Manchester United are reportedly preparing to offer Ander Herrera a new and improved contract after rejecting interest from Barcelona in this summer's transfer window.

Herrera, whose current deal with United will expire next summer, was named the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year last season, where he made 50 appearances in all competitions.

In May, it was claimed that Herrera was a leading transfer target for new Barcelona boss Ernesto Valverde, who coached the Spain international at Athletic Bilbao.

However, it has since been reported that the Red Devils are not prepared to sell the 27-year-old this summer, and according to Sport, the midfielder will be offered a new contract after impressing under Jose Mourinho last season.

Herrera, who is currently with the Man United squad in North America, has scored 15 times in 122 appearances for his Premier League club since making the move from Bilbao in the summer of 2014.
