Real Madrid submit enquiry for Man Utd striker

Real Madrid have apparently enquired over the availability of Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez on a temporary basis, in case they fail to get a deal done for Radamel Falcao.

Los Blancos have been considered favourites to sign up Falcao this summer, but they are likely to face competition from the likes of Arsenal and Manchester City for the player's services.

The Daily Mail claims that the European champions are looking at other alternatives, and have made an enquiry to United in order to sign Hernandez on a six-month loan deal.

Hernandez has featured twice for the Mancunian giants this season.
