Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez is reportedly close to joining Real Madrid on a season-long loan.
The Mexico international is firmly behind Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie in the pecking order at the club, and he is understood to be keen to move away from Old Trafford.
Spanish journalist Guillem Balague has claimed that Hernandez is on the brink of a switch to the La Liga giants, with just the player's wages left to be agreed ahead of a switch.
Real Madrid and Manchester United have agreed a loan deal for Chicharito. Only wages to be agreed.
