The Spanish club is keen to try its chances to lure Javier Hernandez to Mestalla.

The Daily Mirror reports that Ever Banega is ready to leave Valencia, and Manchester United could be his final destination.

To make it happen, Juan Antonio Pizzi would like a deal that includes the Mexican striker.

Chicharito turned down an offer from Los Che in last summer’s transfer window. His agent said that Hernandez wanted to be a starter with the Red Devils.
