Hoax played on Man Utd

Athletic Bilbao midfielder Ander Herrera’s proposed US$47.5 million move to Manchester United turned out to be a hoax after three men attempting to broker the deal were labeled imposters, British media reported on Monday.

“Reports in Spain claim three men dressed in black suits and claiming to be United “representatives” spent an hour at the La Liga offices attempting to negotiate a deal. The move collapsed at the 11th hour,” the BBC reported on Monday.

“Confirmation from Manchester United that three men who reportedly attempted to negotiate a deal to sign Ander Herrera were not acting on behalf of the Premier League champions and were... imposters,” the BBC report added.
