United is in talks with Herrera about a new contract as he approaches the last four months of his contract and that the Basque camp expects it to stay beyond of the summer.

Solskjaer had previously stated that he was impressed by Herrera when Athletic Bilbao defeated United in the round of 16 of the Europa League in 2012 under the tutelage of Marcelo Bielsa.
