Javier Hernandez undergoes Real Madrid medical

Javier Hernandez has undergone a medical with Real Madrid ahead of a season-long loan from Manchester United.

The Mexican joined United from Guadalajara in 2010 and hit double figures during his first season.

The 26-year-old struggled for form last season, however, and has been deemed surplus to requirements by new United boss Louis van Gaal.

Talk of a move to Madrid strengthened over the weekend and the striker has now undergone a medical ahead of a loan move to the capital.

Hernandez will be the fourth Mexican to pull on a Real Madrid shirt and will reportedly be handed the number 14.
