Herrera was a free agent in the summer, but the club activated the 12-month option on his contract keeping him at Old Trafford until the end of next season.
Milan have been splashing the cash since Silvio Berlusconi sold the club to a Chinese-led consortium.
They spent £210million last summer to challenge the dominance of Juventus and reclaim their place at Europe’s top table.
Herrera moved to Old Trafford in 2014 from Athletic Bilbao for £28m a year after the club’s botched attempt to land him under former boss David Moyes.
