Metro: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants Manchester United to sanction deal for PSG star Adrien Rabiot to replace Ander Herrera.
Representatives from United seen at PSG.

Not sure it's a good idea anyway, but the notion we would let Herrera go is madness. Give him a fecking contract. He deserves it more than DDG deserves £400K a week, that's for sure.
The metro have as much credibility as the Private Eye.

Saying that, Herrera needs to stay.
 
unless lukaku leaves or is sold

I'm not sure about that, is he really good enough?
