Javier Hernandez – Untapped potential?

Speaking about Manchester United, Javier Hernandez is having a hard time on the bench at Old Trafford. He has been practically out-of-favour since David Moyes took over at Manchester United, not that he was starting every game under Sir Alex Ferguson, but still.

Chicharito has played just four times in the league this season, which is disappointing for a player of his quality. Both Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney are above him in the pecking order and he, realistically, cannot outdo them.

Therefore, if he needs proper first team action, he needs to move on from Manchester United and join a team where he will have a lesser competition for places.

Both Arsenal and Tottenham are interested in the Mexican and he could be a perfect signing for both these teams. The North London rivals need a reliable back-up for their star strikers, and Chicharito fits the bill. Now, whether United will sell Hernandez to direct rivals is yet to be seen. After all, they did not sell Wayne Rooney to Chelsea, did they?

Possibility of departure: Medium to high
