Man Utd: Herrera could fill Rabiot void at PSG says Hislop
Manchester United star Herrera played under Mourinho at Old Trafford prior to the 56-year-old’s sacking back in December.

Meanwhile, Herrera lauded Mourinho earlier this month, saying: The only thing I can say is thank you to him because he improved me as a player.
“He did everything for the club to try to win.
“Actually, the first season was very successful. In the second season we lost the FA Cup final and finished second, so maybe if we had won that final, we could have said that season was successful too.
“I’m very thankful to Mourinho for what he did for me and for the club. I became Player of the Year under him. He did good things for me.
“I have a good relationship with him and, of course, I spoke to him when he left. He texted me a very nice message – something private between me and him. I have so much respect for him.”
