Herrera, who was named the club's player of the year last season, has been pushed to the fringes by the arrival of Nemanja Matic this campaign but was being considered for a recall to a starting place as United's midfield struggles for form.
Herrera has emerged as a summer target for a number of clubs abroad including AC Milan. However, he is happy at United while he continues to compete for a place. He has made 29 appearances this season.
United want to bring in another midfielder in the summer with Michael Carrick due to retire.
Sergej Milinkovic-Savic of Lazio and Napoli's Jorginho have both been watched this season while another option, Fred of Shakhtar Donetsk is joining Manchester City.
