Premier League giants Manchester United are currently considering a move for Porto star Hector Herrera, according to reports from Spanish outlet Fichajes.

Herrera is currently plying his trade for Porto and the attacking midfielder has established himself as a key player for the Portuguese giants since joining the club from Mexican side Pachuca back in the summer of 2013.

Herrera's fine performances have caught the attention of a number of top clubs across Europe and according to reports emerging out of Spain, claims have been made that United are eyeing up a January move for the 26-year-old as Red Devils' boss Jose Mourinho is a keen admirer of the Mexican international.

The 26-year-old was wanted by United's north-west derby rivals Liverpool and Italian club Napoli during the summer.
