Ander Herrera makes admission on future as Manchester United contract talks stall

Ander Herrera insists he will continue to play in a 'big team' as talks of a new Manchester United contract reach a standstill.

The midfielder is out of contract at Old Trafford in the summer and while both parties are keen to agree a new deal talks have reached an impasse.

United chiefs want to keep the 29-year-old at the club but the two parties are yet to sign off negotiations on fresh terms with the midfielder and should they fail to do so before the end of the season he would be able to leave the club on a free transfer.

While his future will clearly be on his mind, Herrera insists he is just focusing on football.

"I want to beat Barcelona and think about football," Herrera told Spanish outlet ABC. "It is true that I have only two months of contract and today Manchester United and I are not thinking the same and there is no renewal agreement, but my duty is to continue listening to United."

However, he did admit that he would listen to interest from other clubs.

"I will listen to United, of course, but also to other clubs. I do not close doors," he continued.

Another player who is being linked with a United exit is midfielder Paul Pogba and Herrera was asked about the reported interest in the World Cup winner.

"Pogba would be a great reinforcement for Madrid and for any team in the universe, but I hope he remains in United," Herrera said.
