It seems Manchester United is ready to part ways for goo with Mexican striker Javier Hernandez. "Chicharito", currently on loan with Real Madrid, may end up being part of a bid for rising 24-year old Nathaniel Clyne, who's been sought out by the Red Devils for quite some time.
Sources indicate Louis Van Gaal wants to sign the player as soon as possible, given that Chelsea is also ready to make a bid for the right back. The Dutch manager knows Ronald Koeman was interested in signing "Chicharito" before this season started, but the Mexican's buyout close was too expensive for the Saints. With this transfer, Hernandez would enjoy plenty of playing time, which hasn't been the case in the past two seasons.
"Chicharito" has scored five goals this season for Real Madrid in all competitions, breaking this Saturday a seven-month streak without a start. Hernandez played the whole game for Los Blancos, scoring a goal and being named the game's Man of the Match.
Hernandez scored Real Madrid's second goal against Eibar.
Clyne, on the other hand, recently revealed he was flattered by the interest of big clubs such as United and Chelsea, and he would consider a move if things got in place. The right back has refused to extend his contract with the Saints, leaving the window open for a possible transfer. Last Saturday, Clyne was dropped from the squad that defeated Hull City, with coach Ronald Koeman stating he decided to "rest" the defender.
