It was also reported few days ago that United might not go for him if Roma qualify for the Champions League knockout stage. But AS Roma are out from the Champions League, the midfielder will now be planning to move in January.
Roma were beaten by two goals to nil against Manchester City yesterday.
LVG signed Ander Herrera from Athletic Bilbao in the summer window but the Spaniard failed to fulfill the expectations.
Also, Despite of Michael Carrick and Marouane Fellaini impressive games recently, the Dutch boss is planning to finalize the deal for the highly rated Serie A star.
