Former Manchester United midfielder, Ander Herrera,  has had his contract with Paris Saint-Germain terminated two years early. The 33-year-old played a bit-part role for the Parisians last season and PSG told him earlier in the summer he was free to find a new club after three seasons with them. According to Marca, Herrera will return to Bilbao, the club he spent three years with between 2011 and 2014, prior to his £28.85million transfer to United. Herrera will arrive as a free agent and sign until 2024, while retaining the option of a third year.
