Bengaluru, May 13: Manchester United are weighing up a bid to sign Everton midfielder Idrissa Gueye this summer as Ander Herrera's replacement with a hope that he can link up with Paul Pogba effectively.
Herrera confirmed in a message to the Red Devils supporters that he is ready to move away from Old Trafford as a free agent after failing to agree on terms. He is reportedly set to move to Paris Saint-Germain which has shifted Manchester United's attention to the former Lille midfielder.
The 29-year-old was targetted by Paris Saint-Germain in the January window and even reportedly handed in a transfer request in order to force through a move to Ligue 1. However, the deal broke down as PSG were unwilling to meet Everton’s asking price and the Premier League club were left with little time to sign a replacement.
However, now reports suggest that the midfielder is still willing to move on this Summer and instead of keeping the player being disturbed, Everton now could look to ship him out for a substantial fee.
