Bayer Leverkusen close to Javier Hernandez move

German side Bayer Leverkusen are on the cusp of signing out-of-favour Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez.

The Mexican international fell out-of-favour under Louis van Gaal last term as he was shipped out on loan to Real Madrid.

Recent reports have claimed that Van Gaal may stick with Chicharito given the lack of back-up in the striking department.

However, The Mail claims that the talented forward will make his way to Bayer Leverkusen, with United open to the player's departure in the transfer window.

Hernandez has yet to make a start for the Red Devils this season.
