He was a regular at Bilbao until Manchester United signed him in 2014 for 36 million euros on a four-year deal. He played regularly for United without becoming a rusted-on starter, before joining Paris Saint-Germain in 2019. He wasn’t able to regularly break into PSG’s starting line-up and opted to re-join Bilbao in August 2022 on loan.
Herrera played for Spain at the Under-20, Under-21 and Under-23 levels, and made two senior appearances in 2016 and 2017.
