HERNANDEZ WANTS PREMIER LEAGUE STAY
Javier Hernandez wants to stay in the Premier League next season and is not expected to sign for Real Madrid permanently, says Sky Sports Spanish football expert Guillem Balague.
Hernandez has scored five goals in all competitions for Real this season on loan from Old Trafford, including their second in the 3-0 win over Eibar on Saturday.
But Balague, speaking on Revista de La Liga, said the Mexican wants to remain in the Premier League, and insists he has had offers from both England and America.
Balague said: “He talks about frustration, and the frustration is not just about this year.
“It is about two bad years, where he hasn’t been given the chances and has obviously lost his place in the line-up with Mexico as well.
“Now it is a matter of what he does next. He’s got offers from the MLS, offers from the Premier League, he’s got a good press in England. He quite clearly wants to stay in the Premier League, and he wants to play regularly which he hasn’t been able to.”
DI MARIA SET FOR REAL RETURN
Manchester United's Angel di Maria could be used in a swap dealwith former club Real Madrid this summer, according to Sky Sports La Liga pundit Terry Gibson.
Argentine Di Maria has struggled for form since moving to Old Trafford from La Liga in the summer for £60million, and has been loosely linked in the media with a move back to his old club.
He said on the La Liga Weekly Podcast: "It depends on the price, and depends if there’s any other business that Manchester United want to do with Real Madrid or vice verca.
"Would the two clubs come together in terms of transfer dealings? I’d be very surprised if Di Maria went back to Real Madrid."
