Man Utd: Solskjaer reacts to 4-1 win over Newcastle
Former Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera has revealed all on his relationship with Old Trafford chief Ed Woodward. The Spaniard could feature for PSG against his old club in the Champions League this week when they meet on Tuesday.
Former United favourite Ander Herrera insists that he holds no ill feelings towards the club or Ed Woodward, despite surprisingly leaving the club on a free transfer.
Herrera was released last summer after failing to agree new contract with the Red Devils, having been a loyal servant through some turbulent years at Old Trafford.
The Spain midfielder joined PSG shortly after and has shown that he is still able to play at the top level having helped them reach the Champions League final last season.

“I was negotiating for more than one year but I expected more from the board after my third season at the club when I was player of the year.
“They didn’t come to me that summer; they didn’t even call me. And that was very painful for me because I had a feeling that I was giving everything.
“In saying that I have a huge respect for [executive vice-chairman] Ed Woodward, a huge respect for the board. They have always treated me fantastically.
“I know they want the best for Manchester United but in football, in life and in every company in the world sometimes you don’t think the same way and I respect that.
“If I see Ed I will give him a hug. We just had different opinions about Manchester United and, in my opinion, what the club should have done.
“I want to make sure everyone understands there is nothing personal at all. That’s life. But it’s true – after the third season when I was player of the year, when I had the respect and the love from the fans, I didn’t feel that love from the club.”
