Athletic Bilbao president Josu Urrutia has revealed they've turned down an approach from Manchester United for Ander Herrera.
It is claimed the 24-year-old has a release clause of around £30.75million, but that United's valuation fell some way short.
"Yes we received an offer last night, an official offer from Manchester United," said Urrutia.
"Our club is different, our club is special, it's based on sentiment.
"Our objective as a club is not to make money through our players, but to have the best performances as possible.
"To break a contract with Athletic, first they have to tell us they want to leave, and that's not the case with Ander.
"Then they have to pay the buy-out clause in his contract, and that's not the case here either."
