10 footballers who can sign a pre-contract in January

#7 Ander Herrera (Manchester United)

Ander Herrera celebrating his goal against Cardiff City this weekend

Ander Herrera came to Manchester United in the Sir Alex Ferguson-era to replace the legendary Paul Scholes in the defensive midfield position. The Spaniard joined from Athletic Bilbao in the summer of 2014 and has since made 161 appearances for the Red Devils in all competitions.

This season he played 11 matches in the Premier League. He was very productive for his position as he scored two goals and provided one assist. One of the goals came this weekend against Cardiff City in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's debut at Manchester United's bench. However, his current contract expires at the end of this season so he can sign a pre-contract this January with any club. Ander Herrera is a very mobile defensive midfielder and has a warrior instinct which would be welcomed at any club.
