Ander Herrera has confirmed that he will leave Manchester United after his contract expires in the summer, ending his 5-year stay at the club. The 29-year-old Spaniard arrived in Manchester back in 2014 from Athletic Bilbao and has been a great servant at the club.Herrera made 189 appearances for the club, winning the Europa League, the FA Cup, and the EFL Cup in the process. Manchester United's failure to tie Ander Herrera down to a new contract will see him leave the club for free in the summer, with Paris expected to be his next destination.Herrera announced his departure by posting a farewell message to the Manchester United fans via the club's official Twitter account. In his message, he said:"There is red in my heart, I knew it from the first time I played here and in the moment I started to wear it. A club with thousands of fans who respect and remember all the players who give everything. I felt special when I heard my name chanted. I felt proud when the fans decided I was part of this incredible history."Every time I represented this club, in every game, in wins and losses, even when I couldn't help from the grass, I understood what this club means. I am going to remember each of the almost 200 matches that I have played with this jersey. Because playing for the greatest club in England, has been a true honour. Thanks for these five amazing years."A goodbye message from @AnderHerrera. 🔴 #MUFC pic.twitter.com/z56bmBwXa9— Manchester United (@ManUtd) May 11, 2019Ander Herrera has been one of the most underrated players of this Manchester United team and gave his heart and soul to the club whenever he stepped onto the pitch, which turned him into a fan favourite.While some of the fans paid homage to the departing midfielder, others demonstrated their anger towards the Manchester United hierarchy for failing to keep one of their best players at the club. Here are some reactions from the Manchester United supporters.Thank you for the memories @AnderHerrera ❤️ pic.twitter.com/EvcmPHEieh— The Man Utd Way (@TheManUtdWay) May 11, 2019Ander, we love you. Thank you for absolutely everything. You wore that shirt with pride every time you played and we will never forget that. Good luck wherever you end up next. You deserve the best mate. 🇾🇪👊🏼 pic.twitter.com/LmGj3JdOgf— United Xtra (@utdxtra) May 11, 2019I am gutted that Ander Herrera is leaving Manchester United. He has and always will be one of my favourite players. He gave his everything for the badge every time he stepped out on the pitch. I wish him all the best in his future endeavours https://t.co/9bNYCTR7aE— DILLINGER 👹 (@DillanMUFC) May 11, 2019Ander Herrera(who actually deserved a new contract) is leaving Man Utd on a free transfer in the same season Man Utd gave 33 year old Ashley Young a new contract at £110,000 a week, Phil Jones at £120,000 a week and Chris Smalling at £120,000 a week. Astonishing. pic.twitter.com/GZfqbj26Nx— Footy Humour (@FootyHumour) May 11, 2019My club extended the contracts of Phil Jones and Ashley Young but decided not to do so for Ander Herrera, wbu— Stephen Howson 🇾🇪 (@MrStephenHowson) May 11, 2019Honestly can’t get over the fact that Chris Smalling and Phil Jones have outlasted Ander Herrera at Manchester United. And he signed years after them..— Aidan Walsh 🔰 (@AidanWalshMUFC) May 11, 2019From man marking Hazard to being carried off the pitch by Noble to being a passionate leader on/off the pitch and those knee slide celebrations. Ander Herrera did anything to help the club, he’s left a great mark on our club in some difficult times. He can hold his head up high.— The Man Utd Way (@TheManUtdWay) May 11, 2019Ander Herrera is among the players who played with passion, had great influence in the game and really showed that it meant alot to him to play for Manchester United. Goodbye Ander Manchester will miss you. #MUFC pic.twitter.com/MP7qKzptNs— Manchester United Africa.

Some of the players we’ve decided to keep is mad 🤷🏾‍♂️ Goodbye amigo @AnderHerrera pic.twitter.com/x6iBSjWVhJ— FlexUTD (@FlexUTD) May 11, 2019I don’t even know what to say anymore. I’ve ranted about this over and over again. We are letting Ander Herrera leave for nothing whilst you know who will stay. One of my favourite players at United. Will miss him dearly. He was so underrated. This club😭 pic.twitter.com/IUk1y2kvlg— Tяυsτ №¹-Yahya™ (@RealistYahz) May 11, 2019Just to put this into context, we’re letting 29 year old Ander Herrera (who actually deserved a new contract) leave on a free in the same season we offered 33 year old Ashley Young a new contract at £110,000 a week and Phil Jones at £120,000 a week. Words fail me with this club.— The Man Utd Way (@TheManUtdWay) May 11, 2019Thank you for everything Ander. We all love you. Some great moments with you in that shirt. Your attitude has always been professional and you have given back to the fans, always.Wish you good luck for your future endeavors. You will always be a fellow Red. 🔴— The United Link 🏆 (@TheUnitedLink) May 11, 2019Ander Herrera's failed to nail down a starting place under 3 different managers, in one of our worst squads for 30 years.There are plenty of players who should be leaving before him, but he's not worth the wages he was demanding either. We're not losing a prime Roy Keane here.— Sibs 🔰 (@SibsMUFC) May 11, 2019
