Manchester United are reportedly ready to make a £25m move for Athletic Bilbao midfielder Ander Herrera.

United manager David Moyes was keen to bring Barcelona's Cesc Fabregas to Old Trafford but was unsuccessful in his attempts to lure the former Arsenal man back to the Premier League.

However, the Scot has now set his sights on another Spanish schemer in the form of Herrera, according to Cadena Cope.

Herrera has a buyout clause of €36m (£30m) and Athletic are said to be reluctant to let the player leave without the fee being triggered.
