For what it's worth, Guillem Balague hasn't said anything about this.
Ander Herrera is a Manchester United Player!

That's good he was the one on Sky Sports on deadline day saying we were paying the buyout clause.
To be fair to him, United seemed prepared to but they botched in badly with those imposters.
Ballague is probably still in bed 
TBF Its not even 7 o'clock yet

Nope, Moyes said that he didn't value him at the release clause. We weren't looking to pay the release clause at that time.
Didn't Moyes and Woodward say we were never going to pay the buy out clause, the negotiations ended after the first bid was rejected.
Its incredible, the Express circle through about 20/25 transfer rumours a day and they still forgot to make this one up first.
Seems a bit of a let down to be fair. Thought we'd be pushing for Kroos/Vidal type signings.
He would improve us instantly, now buy the other herrera and we will have a competent midfield again.
I won't believe anything until both clubs make a statement confirming this transfer. Let's see now united go when they pay the clause at the LFP.
I thought they had agreed to pay Bilbao just under the clause to avoid the massive tax.
After all the dodgy antics last summer ,is this player any good?.
None of the English press have any idea about this at all. This is not even on the BBC gossip page, and they print everything. LVG has really made sure that our dealings are no longer being made in the open. Good to see.
Could just be that they're all mostly in Brazil. The Mail ran a story earlier I think.

I think its more reliable that it is coming out if the bilbao (not spanish but bilbao) newspapers. They hate selling their players, wont say something just because to sell papers. So there is something in it, we may not be as close to signing him as papers report but might have made an offer equalling his clause.
wtf is happening? 10 pages on him since last update within a night? Deal done according to whom in Spain? Is it time for *omg panic* gif or all of you have gone bonkers and discussing about your life, your wife etc in this thread whole night?
I just woke up .. Is this bloody 2013???
I always thought Bilbao wouldn't accept anything under the buyout clause.
What?
If
If it was about life and wife it wouldnt have lasted 2 pages mate.
You jumped to alastair's defence, who is either wumming, misinformed or hasn't watched him. People who have actually watched him know that he didn't have an average year or as you put it an indifferent season. If anything this applies to his start of the season, nothing more.
Having half of a good season is fairly indifferent.
Most of the opposition fans here are on WUM when it comes to United matters so best thing is to not give a shit about what they say and skip past their posts.
According to whoscored.com, he was the most highly rated Bilbao player last season.
Seems a LVG type player. Not a superstar by any means, just a really good young player with an excellent work rate and tactically flexible. He's overpriced yes and won't change the world, but we have to start somewhere and he'll be an excellent purchase.
I wouldn't pay too much attention to Graham Hunter either positive or negative, he knows nothing outside of Barcelona gossip and is a massive transfer cock tease.
@BarneyLFC, be truthful laddie! You don't have the foggiest what type of season he has had, because you haven't seen any of his games have you?
Unless your names Steven Gerrard.
I've seen him play a few times this season.
And he doesn't think Liverpool need another CM even though they are competing the CL now.Just a few? Well I'm sorry mate, I'll bow down to your superior knowledge.
We've just signed one.
I posted this in May mate so it's hardly like I've just made things up now that you've been linked:
If anything is happening I reckon it'll be wrapped up soon. We must now know the intricacies of his release clause inside out after the debacle of last summer, and we need to get a move on given the clause rises in 7days.
Solid mobile midfielder and by the look of him and his passing stats we could be signing an actual bona fide CM. 
This thread is going to be a nightmare to keep up with today at work.
With Gerrard aging, you will need another especially if you want to compete in the CL.
