Hernandez is spending the 2013/14 season on loan at Real Madrid in La Liga, but the Mexican international is struggling for game time under experienced Italian manager Carlo Ancelotti and has indicated that he is looking to move somewhere that can offer him regular football at the end of the season.
This has opened the door for Arsenal and Liverpool, who will both feel that Hernandez’s impressive goalscoring record for United in the Premier League, largely as a substitute, would be readily welcomed at their clubs as they look to add more goals to their weaponry.
