Manchester United face losing striker Javier Hernandez next season, if they do not start playing the Mexican more frequently.
Little-Pea, as he is known, has only appeared in two of David Moyes’ 11-games in charge and despite being used in the same way as Sir Alex Ferguson, it finally appears that Hernandez has had enough of sitting on the bench.
With the likes of Robin Van Persie, Danny Welbeck and Wayne Rooney all ahead of Hernandez in the pecking order, it is tough times for the Mexican and that is why he is now prepared to leave Old Trafford.
“I strive for that [to start more games],” said the 25-year-old, who scored 20 goals in his debut season at United following a £6m move from Chivas Guadalajara in his homeland in 2010.
“I am working towards that – earning a spot as a starter. I know that my performance on the pitch will allow me to achieve that goal someday either here [in Manchester] or elsewhere for any other club.
“I am going on four years here [at Manchester United] and really, like I have always said, I am happy to be able to play for one of the best clubs in the world, doing my best every single day to earn more minutes on the pitch.
“I just need to be given more opportunities to showcase what I can do, because all of us want to be able to contribute our part so this team can win championships.”
