ATLETICO RENEW INTEREST IN MAN UTD STAR

Atletico Madrid have reportedly renewed their interest in Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera.

The La Liga giants were keen on the former Athletic Bilbao star back in 2016, but boss Diego Simeone has been impressed with how Herrera’s game has developed in England and is keen to take advantage of the fact that the 28-year-old is out of contract in the summer.

Spanish outlet AS reports that Herrera is open to the idea of moving to the Spanish capital, particularly with Jose Mourinho actively looking to sign a new central midfield to form a three-man axis with Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic.
