Ex-Man United star declines to join Spurs

Earlier, Sports Brief reported former Man United midfielder Ander Herrera reportedly had an offer to join Tottenham during the January transfer window but declined.

Spurs, who were desperate to bolster their squad before the window shut are said to have shown interest in the Paris Saint-Germain star.

However, according to reports, the Spanish star quashed that possibility owing to his loyalty to the former club, Manchester United.
