Man Utd in contract dilemma as Real Madrid decline permanent Javier Hernandez switch
MANCHESTER UNITED face a difficult decision whether to offer Javier Hernandez a new contract after learning Real Madrid will decline a permanent transfer.
Chicharito's contract is due to expire in the summer of 2015, and without a deal in place - looks set to leave Old Trafford for free.
Sir Alex Ferguson paid a modest £6million for Hernandez in 2010, but has failed to cement a starting role for any of United's past three managers.
The Mexican decided to join Real Madrid on loan in the summer, and has managed to net three times despite limited opportunities - which begs the question: why is he surplus to requirements in both Manchester and Madrid?

Spanish reports strongly claim that Carlo Ancelotti will not ask Hernandez to stay in Spain, leaving the striker free to sign a pre-contract agreement with potential suitors in January.
