Manchester United: Sign £20m Sanchez To Replace Hernandez And Look To Offload This Misfit

Javier Hernandez has had a mixed time at Manchester United since his move in 2010. In four seasons the Mexican has played 152 games, but a lot of those have been as a substitute, and scored 59 goals. Now, though, it seems that his time at Old Trafford could be coming to an end, with Louis van Gaal supposedly naming Alexis Sanchez of Barcelona as a target.

United currently have four options up front – Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie, Danny Welbeck and Hernandez himself.

The first two are the most important, and I can’t see Welbeck going anywhere this summer, so, in my opinion, Sanchez would replace Hernandez.

Sanchez is quicker than the Mexico international, is more flexible and is better at linking up with team-mates. He also has a strong record of scoring goals from different positions – last season he scored 19 goals from the right wing.

The fact he is a winger as well as a striker would persuade me to offload Nani, who has flattered to deceive over the last few years. Sanchez created 10 league assists last term, a greater number than the number of starts from Nani.

For me, if he’s available for £20m it would be a no-brainer.
