Ander Herrera looks set to leave Manchester United for Paris Saint-Germain when his contract expires this summer.

The 29-year-old has been on the same terms since he joined from Athletic Bilbao in 2013, meaning his wages are significantly less than those earned by teammates of a similar status.

Herrera is reportedly demanding £200,000-a-week to stay put, but the club has refused to budge so far.

Speaking with Diario ABC last weekend, the Spaniard said: “As it is right now, Manchester and I are not thinking alike.”

Barring a late breakthrough in negotiations, it seems unlikely that Herrera will get his sixth year at Old Trafford.

With 188 appearances and 20 goals for the Red Devils to his name, though, he won’t be an easy player to replace.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is expected to welcome as many as five new signings in the next transfer window - one of which he wants to be an experienced individual to cover for losing Herrera.

Well, the Evening Standard claims United have identified a ‘leading contender’ to fill the void in Everton’s Idrissa Gueye.

PSG - Herrera's probable next club - tried and failed to buy him during the January - and it’s no wonder why.

The Senegal international is an impressively consistent performer and has all the key attributes of a top holding midfielder.

Gueye boasts a passing accuracy of 84 per cent and leads the Premier League in average successful tackles per match this season.

Better yet, he could be lured away from Everton for as little as £30 million.

United are also thought to be considering West Ham’s Declan Rice along with Atletico Madrid’s Saul Niguez, but it’s difficult to see either representing the same value for money.

While money is no object for the Red Devils, going for the cheaper option in this instance makes sense as it will leave more to put towards Solskjaer’s other targets.

In addition to signing Herrera’s successor, the Norwegian is keen to land a right-back, a centre-back, a right-winger and a second midfielder in a bid to overhaul the squad he inherited from Jose Mourinho.
