In the clip, Herrera, 29, picks up a PlayStation pad before launching the game and transferring himself to the PSG squad.
His move to Paris does not come as a surprise, considering the Ligue 1 champions accidentally revealed it yesterday.
The Spaniard's No21 shirt was available to buy on the club's online store for a whopping £125 a pop.
Herrera left United at the end of last season after failing to come to an agreement over a new contract with the Red Devils.
He made 189 appearances for the Old Trafford side after joining from Athletic Bilbao for £29million in 2014 - scoring 20 goals and grabbing 27 assists.
The midfielder won the FA Cup, League Cup and Europa League during his five-year spell in England.
FROM PARIS WITH LOVE
But Herrera has now said he was looking forward to living in Paris, which he labels as "the world's most beautiful city".
He also promised PSG fans his professionalism and passion as well as vowed to improve his French.
Herrera told the club's website: "Paris Saint-Germain is the greatest club in France. It keeps on improving and competes to win every possible title.
"I was looking forward to coming to Paris and to wearing those colours.
"I hope to continue to make history with the club!
