West Ham must pursue Manchester United midfielder.
West Ham must pay close attention to Ander Herrera’s contract situation at Manchester United.
The Spanish international’s deal runs out at the end of the season and he is yet to renew at Old Trafford.
The combative midfielder is perfect for West Ham and Manuel Pellegrini must pull out all the stops to lure him to East London.
Herrera is the type of player loved by Hammers fans.
He is skilful, never shies away from a tackle or confrontation, and gives his all for the team.
He scored a crucial winner in the FA Cup semi-final last season against Tottenham but remains underrated by Jose Mourinho, who has only picked him to start one Premier League game this season.
Herrera deserves better, and at West Ham he could command cult hero status.
United paid £29 million to sign him from Athletic Bilbao a season ago. Now they are on the brink of losing him for nothing next summer.
West Ham could pull off a major coup if they could tempt him to East London, where Herrera would be an upgrade on the likes of Jack Wilshere and Carlos Sanchez, and even signal a decline in playing time for Mark Noble.
