Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera is wanted by his former club Athletic Club Bilbao, according to the Basque outfit’s sporting director Rafael Alkorta. The Basque midfielder was signed by Manchester United in 2014 when the Red Devils paid his release clause and could now be on his way back.

Herrera is not the only player on their radar as the likes of Javi Martinez and Fernando Llorente are also wanted. However, Alkorta admits that no progress has been made yet and that they will discuss how to get forward with this on Tuesday.

"We are interested in Javi Martínez, Ibai, Ander Herrera, [Fernando] Llorente... we're interested in all of them," Alkorta said.

"We still haven't made progress. We'll get together on Tuesday to see what can be done. I have just returned and this week we will look at our options.”
