Man Utd Transfer News: Javier Hernandez Drops Quit Threat

Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez has hinted that he may have to quit the club to seek more regular playing time, according to the Mirror. Hernandez has started a mere two games out of 11 under new manager David Moyes and has yet to play a full 90 minutes of football for the champions this season. The 25-year-old has been with United since 2010 but has always played the role of "impact substitute" with many of his appearances in the last three years coming from the bench. And though the Mexican says he is happy to remain at Old Trafford, he conceded that he may have to move to another club in order to achieve his aim of starting games on a regular basis. Hernandez, who was a target for Atletico Madrid over the summer, admits his lack of playing time is a concern for him when it comes to assessing his future. He said:

"I strive for that , I am working towards that - earning a spot as a starter. I know that my performance on the pitch will allow me to achieve that goal someday either here or elsewhere for any other club. "I am going on four years here and really, like I have always said, I am happy to be able to play for one of the best clubs in the world, doing my best every single day to earn more minutes on the pitch. "I just need to be given more opportunities to showcase what I can do, because all of us want to be able to contribute our part so this team can win championships."

Hernandez realises he is down the pecking order at United, with Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney both preferred by Moyes, while the gradual return to form of Danny Welbeck is also keeping him out of the side. But the man known as "Chicharito" - Little Pea - believes the competition is only a good thing for United.

"The competition inside the team has always been really healthy and I think that helps the team a lot, because there are so many quality players that every one of them wants to earn a starting spot."

"The practices and matches coming up will force us to step up and help the team grow both at an individual and collective level," Hernandez concluded.
