He has since gone further back in the pecking order, with United snapping-up Fred from Shakhtar Donetsk for £52m.

And the ex-Athletic Bilbao ace wants to know where he stands in Mourinho’s plans for the near future.

It is understood Herrera is frustrated with Old Trafford chiefs over their lack of offering fresh terms.
