If its true that Herrera wanted 200k id say the club made the right decision not to renew. The likes of Modric/Kroos earn around 200.000 a week (?) and Herrera is not on that level.

you cant blame him though, Ramsay is getting more because he ran his contract down. This is down to poor management by letting his contract run down. I'd agree he's not a starter in our ideal team but he's a starter now and we've got 3/4 positions we need to strengthen already
 
So that's one additional hole to fill in the squad
Herrera is our second best CM nad if he's actually leaving we will need to buy two CMs, a DM and a #8

Too much surgery needed elsewhere. I don't expect us to replace him directly.

That won't happen, we'll sign a CM but not a DM, we'll unfortunately replace Matic next season instead
 
Outstanding squad player. Probably not good enough to start for a team challenging for the title due to his limitations.

Liverpool are challenging for the title with Milner and Wijnaldum, he's definitely good enough.
 
Hope we go all in for Saul from Atleti if true,he'd be a quality upgrade over Ander and would prevent Citeh from adding even more class to their formidable midfield

Midfield, in addition to RW are the two main areas we need to fix in the squad. Pogba is the only one in midfield with the quality to be a starter. Matic clearly can't handle the number of games he is playing. Fred is a bust. Pereira does not fit. Herrera might be off. MacTominay is a backup.

Indeed. He is a long way down the list of players we could do with shifting.

Losing your second best midfielder for nothing can never be a positive step.

I don't disagree, but I also don't have much faith in our player recruitment. This will simply become another hole in the squad.
 
If Ander wanted the reported 200k week deal then I can understand the clubs decision not to cave into his and his agents demands.
Now naturally people will align this with the insane wages Sanchez earns and are somewhat justified with those comparisons but I believe Sanchez to will be looking for a new club this summer.
We cant keep given decent players a kings ransom.

He's not a squad player, he is a starter (unless we've signed some world class #8 in the last few days?)

Ander is a indeed a starter for us but that doesn't necessarily mean he's a great player.
United can upgrade on him far more easily to that compared to Pogba.
Now,will United upgrade on Ander is the question.

I can't imagine there's a club in world football (even in China) who would be prepared to stump up Sanchez's salary - we're stuck with him.
 



If we're getting the 10x better replacement, I have no issue with this at all.
Good player yes, but injury prone and not a great player. I do not blame him at all for seeking a better deal for himself and wish him all the best if it is indeed a true story.

We could get a get 5 relatively young, but experienced midfielders that would improve our squad/starters for around £100m. And would not increase the wage cost much if we were to sell Matic, Fred and Pereira and letting Herrera go on a free.

Wijnaldum is probably better. But I get your point.

We could still do a lot better.
 
If that's true, then that's absolutely criminal by the board. Why did he have less than a year in the first place as one of our key players? He seemed happy here so it's shocking that the board could be that complacent.

Wasn’t a key player under previous managers so situation allowed to run.
 
Hard to blame Herrera if he does go. He spent many of the prime years of his career being undervalued and underused at United. Suddenly PSG want to give him a huge pay rise and a role in their chanpuoch league hunt? Who wouldn't be tempted
 
Ander, nooo! Well, he deserves a good payday. Loyal servant, extremely professional and passionate for the club. All the best :(.

If he was loyal and passionate why doesn't he take the 170k the club has reportedly offered to him?

Because he's been offered more elsewhere and we've let his contract run down to this point. I'm not begrudging him asking for parity with what he's been offered by PSG.
 
He's easily replaceable, very limited player.

if he doesnt want to be here, I'm glad he's going - enjoy the bench at PSG Ander.

To be fair to Ander I can see him feature quite abit looking at PSGs' current midfield options,more so if Rabbiot leaves.
Verrati,Paredes,Nkunku and occasionally Marquinhos.
