Real Madrid tracking Chicharito

Manchester United striker Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez is apparently a mid-season transfer target for Real Madrid.

The Mexican is reported in the English media today as being unhappy with his lack of playing time at the Red Devils, having seen appearances in this and the previous season drop below the rate managed in his debut campaign.

It is understood that the club would listen to offers for the 24-year-old and that Real are an interested party, with the striker thought of as initial cover for Gonzalo Higuain and Karim Benzema, but also available to play in other positions within the attack.

United are believed prepared to send the player out on loan or to transfer him permanently out.
