Manchester United have announced that the club’s midfielder Ander Herrera will leave Old Trafford at the end of the season on a free transfer.
The Spaniard, who joined the club from Athletic Bilbao in the summer of 2014, won the FA Cup and the Europa League with United and became a true fans’ favorite. His contract runs out in the summer of 2019 and he is being linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain.

But Man United fans have not taken the exit well, reacting angrily to the exit of a man who was probably the club’s best signing in the Post Sir Alex Ferguson era.
One of the fans criticised the club for handing a new contract to Marcos Rojo, who hardly plays, and letting a leader in Herrera go.

Others lauded the Basque man for how he played for the club and thanked his for his services over the last five years.
