Real Madrid have confirmed that they have secured the services of Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez on loan from Manchester United for the 2014-15 campaign, with an option to make the move permanent at the end of the season.Continue...
Madrid
were in the market for a new striker following the exit of Alvaro
Morata to Juventus earlier this summer and they have now found the
back-up for main striker Karim Benzema that head coach Carlo Ancelotti
had requested.
"Real Madrid and Manchester United have reached an
agreement over the loan deal of Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez, who will
be playing for Madrid this season," a statement on Madrid's website
reads.
"Madrid have an option to buy the player outright.
"Javier Hernandez will be unveiled to the media in the press room Monday at 16:30CET."
The
26-year-old had joined Manchester United from Guadalajar in the summer
of 2010 and had since made over 100 Premier League appearances for the
Premier League outfit.
Nevertheless, he made the majority of his
appearances coming off the bench due to the presence of Wayne Rooney and
Robin van Persie at the club and he was keen to move on following the
imminent arrival of Radamel Falcao from Monaco.
Hernandez won two Premier League titles during his time at the Old Trafford outfit.
