Javier "Chicharito" Hernández is feeling the frustration of not getting much play time at Old Trafford. The Manchester United striker has hinted at his discontent in the past but has remained with the English Premiere League club. Mexico's national team manager Miguel "El Piojo" Herrera visited the player in recent weeks and says that the 25-year-old is not happy. "He seemed well but he is a bit frustrated because he doesn't play despite training well and the truth is that when he does play, he makes a huge effort on the pitch," he told ESPN Raza Deportiva. "He is a bit frustrated because the current manager doesn't give him many chances, but he is committed and doing what he can to become a starter.
Hernández has only started 4 games out of the 16 times he has been featured this season. The Man U player fueled speculation that he has had it with the club and might be exiting at the end of the season. The rumor started when "Chicharito" posted an enigmatic message on his Instagram page that read, "the time to speak about so many things will come." Following the social media frenzy he updated his photo feed with another picture with the caption "always grateful." Hernández joined the club in 2010 and has not been able to break out and with Man U struggling this season under manager David Moyes leadership, a team overhaul is sure to follow.
Last month his father Eduardo Hernández told ESPN he had received offers from multiple clubs in different countries. "I had meetings with a few clubs, I won't name them, nor their offers, they are very interested in him. One of the top 10 teams in the world are among those teams that were very interested in signing Javier," he said. "There was a club from Germany, one from France, and two from Spain and Italy each that want to have him. However, he is under contract with Man United and he somehow has to respect it in case there is an agreement between the parties."
