Ander Herrera recalls 'transfer imposters' who posed as lawyers for his Manchester United move

Former Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera has explained how 'transfer imposters' disrupted his planned move to Old Trafford back in 2013.

The Spaniard was heavily linked with a move to the Reds in 2013, with David Moyes - who had replaced Sir Alex Ferguson as manager - keen to bring the player to the club. Despite this, United were unable to agree a deal for Herrera.

It was suggested that the deal had broken down after Athletic Bilbao demanded a pricey buy-out fee. However, some reports at the time claimed that 'imposters' who posed as lawyers representing the player had sabotaged the transfer - and Herrera has now explained how they were attempting to broker a deal on his behalf.
