Tuttosport: AC Milan eye Manchester United midfielder
Hector Herrera, Mexican midfielder of Porto, was recently scouted in the Champions League match against Liverpool. But according to reports from Calciomercato.com and Tuttosport he is not the only Herrera that AC Milan are after. The Rossoneri are apparently interested in Ander Herrera, Spanish midfielder of Manchester United. Tuttosport reports that there is strong interest from AC Milan and talks between the parties date back to a few weeks ago.
However Jose Mourinho has thought about how to complicate the plans of AC Milan. The coach of Manchester United, despite not considering Herrera a regular stater, has decided to activate a clause for the automatic renewal of Herrera’s contract for another year.
Now the new contract of the Spaniard will expire in 2019 and it’s not yet clear if Milan will continue their pursuit for the 28 year old central midfielder. The initial plan of the Rossoneri was to sign Ander Herrera on a free transfer so he could provide competition for Lucas Biglia and Riccardo Montolivo.
