Man United ready to give exit-linked ace another chance

However, with Robin van Persie and Radamel Falcao having been allowed to leave, the latter’s loan deal expired, it seems that Van Gaal has altered his stance.

Manchester United have rebuffed an approach from West Ham for Javier Hernandez, with Louis van Gaal ready to hand the Mexican another chance at Old Trafford, according to reports from Metro.

Hernandez recently declared his desire to return to United and fight for a first-team place under Van Gaal.

“At the time, we have to decide which strikers we could have at Manchester United“.

“We had: [Danny] Welbeck, Chicharito, [Robin] van Persie and [James] Wilson”.

“I made the decision to let (Danny) Welbeck and Chicharito (Hernandez) go”.

“They (Arsenal) have got all the attributes, they create a hell of a lot but I think they need someone who really loves to play in the penalty area and arrive in the penalty area and this kid does it all the time”. While he is not as technical as some, he has proven he can score goals wherever he has gone in his career.

Chicharito may have scored some important goals at the Bernabeu-not least against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League (see below)-but the Merengues opted not to extend the player’s move beyond the end of the season [Daily Mail].

Buying a world-class number nine appears to be a problem for United this summer with Europe’s elite proving costly and unwilling to move. The injury is expected to keep the Hernandez out of pre-season training for another three weeks.
