Manchester United close in on Ander Herrera signing for £30m

It is believed United are set to pay around £30m for the 24-year-old Spaniard, whom they tried to recruit last summer, before his fee rises at the end of this month due to the terms of his contract, Kazinform quotes the Guardian. It is also understood the deal could be wrapped up in the next few days. Herrera would become the first new signing United have made since they confirmed Louis van Gaal - currently in charge of the Holland national team at the World Cup - as the permanent successor to David Moyes, who was sacked in May.
