Ander Herrera: Man Utd set to sign Athletic Bilbao midfielder

Manchester United are close to completing a deal to sign midfielder Ander Herrera from Athletic Bilbao. 

The Old Trafford club failed in an attempt to buy Herrera, 24, on transfer deadline day last summer.
New United boss Louis van Gaal has revived the transfer, which could be completed as early as Tuesday.

Herrera, part of Spain's Olympic squad in 2012, would become Van Gaal's first signing since he replaced David Moyes as manager.
