Javier Hernandez Transfer Rumours: Latest News on the Manchester United Star

This is Javier Hernandez's last chance to leave Manchester United for a club where he might get more playing time.

This year, Chicharito has appeared six times—three outings in the Premier League, two in the Capital One Cup and one in the FA Cup, amounting to 254 minutes out of a possible 540.

Despite being on the pitch for less than half of the possible time, Hernandez scored three times, including the goal that forced penalty kicks against Sunderland in the Capital One Cup Semifinal.

The transfer window shuts down this week and Chicharito's future seems uncertain.

Just days before the transfer window shuts Chicharito’s agent has dismissed the rumours surrounding the Mexican striker.

In an interview with Mexican website MedioTiempo.com Eduardo Hernandez (no relation) said:

"

There is not (a deal), he knows it's a tough competition, it is a very tough team (Manchester United) and he is there, he has to fight for a place. Furthermore, there is one day left (in the transfer window).

"

Hernandez has been linked to Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool, Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan, Roma and Monaco in the past couple of months.

Sports Direct News' Jon Rogers says that Atletico Madrid are willing to lure the Mexican striker to Estadio Vicente Calderon.

The Spanish club's interest comes as a result of Diego Costa's transfer rumours, as Bleacher Report's own Ed Dove counts here.

This is not the first time that Los Colchoneros have tracked Chicharito. In 2012 The Daily Mirror reported that he could be Radamel Falcao's replacement.

The Sun (h/t 101 Great Goals) reports that Hernandez is fed up with not playing. His concern comes five months before the World Cup.

The Mexican striker believes he needs as many minutes as he can get to be ready for Brazil 2014.

However, Mexican website MedioTiempo.com organized a Twitcam session with El Tri coach Miguel Herrera during which he acknowledged that Hernandez might not start for his club either:

"

I don’t know if he (Hernandez) will be a starter, but I see him as an important player, he comes in for five minutes and scores. His team doesn't win, but he shows the attitude of a player who wants to start with his club.

Hernandez could be the second Mexican in Ligue 1 this season.

The Daily Mirror's Alan Nixon and Tom Hopkinson suggest that Monaco have been eyeing Chicharito and he could join the French club as a replacement for Radamel Falcao, who injured his anterior cruciate ligament last week.
