Why Herrera rejected £200,000-a-week deal at Manchester United

Manchester United made a final offer of over £200,000-a-week to keep Ander Herrera, but the Spaniard wanted more money, according to the UK Metro.

The 29-year-old is set to leave the club at the end of the season when his contract expires, with Paris Saint-Germain leading the race to sign him on a free transfer.

United opened contract negotiations with Herrera's representatives over 18 months ago, but little progress was made and the player's camp felt the club prioritised other players' deals during that period.

Many felt the club simply were not proactive enough in trying to keep Herrera, but it is believed the club made a final offer worth more than £200,000-a-week in a bid to keep the midfielder.

Herrera currently earns around £100,000-a-week after bonuses.
