Javier Hernandez has rejected the chance
to leave Manchester United and join
Valencia.
Mexico striker Hernandez was the subject
of a bid from Valencia this summer
, the Spanish club promising him the
regular football he craves.
But despite Robin van Persie being United's
No.1 striker and Wayne Rooney and Danny
Welbeck being ahead of him in the pecking
order, Hernandez decided to stay put.
The striker's agent, Eduardo Hernandez,
confirmed the offer from Valencia and said:
"Of course he wants to play more, to have
more minutes, to participate more, but he
wants to do it at United, he wants to
defend the title and go far in the
Champions League.
"The interest from Valencia was real. He
had the chance to speak with the sporting
director [Braulio Vazquez] but Javier, I
reiterate, wants to stay at Manchester
United, this is the challenge.
"He was very grateful to Valencia and the
other clubs who called him.
"It's not a question of money - we didn't
even talk about that subject, there's only
one subject for Javier: he wants to play and
be a starter at United.
"He knows it's a very competitive club and
that he has to fight to play every day, in the
dressing room and on the training ground,
but he's not scared, he says he's more
motivated than ever.
"His outlook is the same as when he moved
to English football; to triumph.
"Now, with the new manager, he has a lot
of hopes, a big desire to play and to grow
as a footballer. This season is a new
challenge for him.
"He wants to triumph in England. He knows
that a starting spot comes with working
hard and he has to take advantage of the
opportunities that come his way, like he
did with Alex Ferguson."
