The heart of the matter
Herrera reveals that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had urged him to stay but United hierarchy were late in their efforts to tie him up for a new deal.
Speaking in a recent interview which was reported by Marca, Herrera said:
"I don't like looking to the past too much, but there were differences regarding the project and my importance within it."
"I was very happy there, I have a lot to thank the club, fans and Solskjaer for. He did a lot to convince me to stay, but things didn't happen like that."
"Their offer arrived late and by then I had already made the decision to play in Paris. I'm very happy today because I made that decision. I'm enjoying this magnificent city and this beautiful stadium, it has a glamour that few can match."
Thinking back about his time with the Premier League club, the Spaniard was happy with what he has achieved. He commented,
"It was a fantastic part of my career. In five years I played 189 matches and I had been important for all the coaches."
"It's true that the Player of the Year award makes you feel very special and very happy, but I learned something from every coach."
"I am left with every moment that I got to experience in Manchester."
