Javier Hernandez (Manchester United)
Pros: He’s closer to the type of player we like – small, quick and predatory – while he’s also the kind of marksmen we’ve arguably been lacking – a poacher, someone who can grab a goal out of nothing. He’s coming towards the end of his contract and having been loaned out last year he’s clearly unwanted, he could be picked up cheaply.
Cons: Manchester United. It’s as simple as that really. No player has moved directly between the two clubs since the 1960s and it’s hard to see the Mexican breaking that trend unless the Reds make a real strong move. His record over the last couple of years is also fairly uninspiring (18 in 70), so it’s hard to see him being first choice.
