Ander Herrera has 'demanded wages of £200,000 per week' in order to sign a new deal at Manchester United.
The midfielder's contract expires in the summer and the 29-year-old is currently being tracked by French giants Paris Saint-Germain, who are keen to sign him on a free transfer and have reportedly made an approach for the Spaniard.
According to the Mirror, PSG's interest has inflated Herrera's wage demands and he is demanding a massive wage hike from his current £130,000-per-week deal.
United are only willing to offer the former Bilbao midfielder £170,000-per-week, and they are refusing to buckle to the player's demands.
Herrera is a very popular figure at Old Trafford in part due to his terrier-like defensive discipline at the heart of midfield, winning the player of the year award at the club in 2017.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has made Herrera a first team regular once again and is eager to avoid losing a player who has become an important asset.
Herrera returned to Premier League action against Watford on Saturday, starting his side's 2-1 win.
He had missed a handful of games due to a hip problem after United's draw with Liverpool last month, returning for the FA Cup defeat at Wolves, but before that period he had only failed to feature in one game under Solskjaer.

If he demands that to stay, he can leave. How many players of his calibre earns that? Even Mata should earn higher but he doesn't complain, always humble. He even made some statements about the wages footballers earn, that's crazy... even if you never get to play still Pucket such amount week in week out

He deserves that much, he's been the heart of United's midfield but last night we could see he wasn't 100% fit but when he gets fully fit, we'll see the real Herrera

Why can't they just give the players what they want? Give De Gea what he is demanding and also Herrera as they are 2 of the most important players of the team and losing them on a free will be the worst thing to happen... Also replacing them won't be that easy and will cost us alot of money considering how much we need to spend in positions like RW and CB If Sanchez can earn that much then these 2 definitely deserves a higher salary too

If Sanchez is worth 400+, then Herrera is worth 200

PSG is doing fine financially lately but don't disrespect Manchester united Mr Herrera. That is UNITED, it is rising and it will be great like before. So it's not necessary for you Herrera to treat united like a side chick.
