United reportedly came close to agreeing a 25 million Euro deal with Bilbao for Herrera, but the player indicated that he saw his immediate future at his hometown club.<br />

Josu Urrutia, Bilbao's manager, has now taken time to tell reporters that no deal will be agreed to sell his club's star player: "I don't know what other teams will do, but I consider the Herrera issue to be closed.<br />

"Ander has a contract until 2016. All players have to focus on giving Athletic all you can give."
