Solskjaer has given Pogba permission to miss training

#3 Ander Herrera signs for Paris Saint Germain

Perhaps the biggest heartbreak of the summer for United fans has been the departure of Ander Herrera, who has the darling of Old Trafford. United failed to negotiate a contract extension and the Spaniard left as a free agent. It was rumored that he was headed to France to sign for the Ligue 1 Champions and now we can confirm that the rumors were true.

The Spaniard has signed for PSG in a five-year deal, after agreeing personal terms with the French Champions in April. Here's what he had to say:

Paris Saint-Germain is the greatest club in France.

It keeps on improving and competes to win every possible title.

I was looking forward to coming to Paris and to wearing those colours. I hope to continue to make history with the club. Joining this club is an amazing feeling.

Paris is the most beautiful city in the world. I promise three things: work, professionalism and passion. I also promise to improve my French because I think that the language is very important for the team's communication.
