Manchester United Transfer Rumours: Javier Hernandez Ready to Leave Old Trafford; Ferguson Says No New Signings in January

Manchester United forward Javier Hernandez is reportedly ready to wave goodbye to Old Trafford, after being frustrated with the lack of playing time.

Hernandez has been in good form this season, but has started only a few games, owing to Robin Van Persie and Wayne Rooney being ahead of him in the pecking order.

According to the Daily Star, this has led to Hernandez looking for a move abroad, with the likes of Atletico Madrid, Porto and Fiorentina showing an interest in the man known as "Chicharito."

Atletico are looking at alternatives, if they lose striker Radamel Falcao in January, with Chelsea, Manchester City and Real Madrid interested in the prolific Colombian.

Hernandez is at the top of the list for Atletico, while Porto and Fiorentina have also moved in after receiving hints of the striker's willingness to leave.

"Javier is not content at the moment," a source close to Hernandez told the Daily Star. "The presence of Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney makes life complicated for him there."

Hernandez has repeatedly and publicly expressed his happiness at remaining with United, despite the arrival of Van Persie in the summer, and with the striker contracted to United until 2016, a move away looks highly unlikely.

If at all United were to agree a move, he would cost an interested club somewhere in the region of £20 million ($32 million).

Meanwhile, Sir Alex Ferguson has ruled out any new additions to United's playing squad in January. The Red Devils are flying high in the English Premier League, six points clear of rivals Manchester City, and Ferguson is clearly happy with his squad.

"We will not be bringing anybody in, in January, definitely not," Ferguson told the Daily Mail."

United have been heavily linked with a move for a central midfielder in January, with the likes of Kevin Strootman and Arturo Vidal reportedly on the club's radar. However, Ferguson refuted any concerns of his team being weak in the middle of the park.

"People keep saying we are weak in midfield but these guys are very good players," Ferguson insisted.
