Man Utd plan improved bid for Athletic Bilbao dynamo Ander Herrera

Manchester United are preparing an improved bid for Athletic Bilbao midfielder Ander Herrera.

The Daily Mail says United were preparing an improved offer for Herrera on Friday night after a £21million bid was rejected.

Bilbao want United to meet Herrera's £25.5m buyout clause, and president Jose Urrutia said: "For a player to leave he needs to state his intentions to leave and (the club) pay the buyout clause."

It is believed Herrera has expressed a desire to go.
