Soccer-Herrera joins Manchester United from Athletic Bilbao
June 26 (Reuters) - Midfielder Ander Herrera has joined Manchester United on a four-year deal from La Liga side Athletic Bilbao, the Premier League side announced on Thursday. Bilbao said earlier that they had rejected a bid for the 24-year-old from United valued at around 36 million euros ($49 million), the same as his buyout fee, but the transfer was concluded later in the day. "Signing for Manchester United is a dream come true," the Spaniard told the club website (www.manutd.com).
