Hernandez arrives in Germany ahead of Leverkusen deal..

Hernandez has been given permission to leave Old Trafford this summer after failing to win over manager Louis van Gaal despite United’s lack of striking options.

David De Gea hopeful on dream move to Madrid...
ADAM CRAFTON: Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea is increasingly confident of sealing his dream move to Real Madrid after official talks finally began between the two clubs.
Sources close to the player have told Sportsmail that official discussions are ongoing between United and Madrid, with the Spanish hoping to conclude a deal today.
De Gea is understood to be in Madrid today as he is due to meet up with the Spanish national team at their training base in the capital on Tuesday evening.
De Gea's agent Jorge Mendes is attempting to mediate the talks between the two clubs. United have demanded £33m for the goalkeeper but Madrid believe it is unrealistic for a player whose contract expires in 10 months time and whose relationship with Louis van Gaal is in tatters.
Madrid would like to include Keylor Navas in the deal but the Costa Rican has shown little appetite to join United as of yet. Jasper Cillessen of Ajax remains a target for Van Gaal.
SAMI MOKBEL: Southampton are resisting Tottenham's strenuous attempts to land Victor Wanyama before Tuesday's transfer deadline.
Mauricio Pochettino wants to sign the Kenyan from his former club as he looks to strengthen his central midfield options.
But the Saints are blocking Spurs' efforts to sign Wanyama.
Arsenal target Draxler joining Wolfsburg?
Pictures emerging from Germany would appear to suggest that Wolfsburg are about to reinvest a sizeable chunk of the money received from Manchester City for Kevin De Bruyne on Schalke star Julian Draxler.

German newspaper Bild tweeted a picture of the highly-rated midfielder wearing a Wolfsburg kit on Monday afternoon.
Cottagers announce double swoop
Fulham have had a busy day so far, and they have now revealed two signings in quick succession.
After Ange-Freddy Plumain joined Kit Symons' side from Ligue 2 side Red Star on a season-long loan, right-back Ryan Fredericks has also made the journey to west London on a three-year deal from Bristol City for an undisclosed fee.
'When I heard of the interest from Fulham I jumped at the chance and I’m delighted that we got it done so quickly,' Fredericks told the Fulham website.
N’Zogbia but the winger is believed to be reluctant to leave Birmingham.
N’Zogbia is one of the highest-earning members of Villa’s squad, on around £63,000
per week, and Sherwood would welcome funds ahead of deadline day.
The 29-year-old, who cost Villa £9.5million in July 2011, still has one year left on his
deal but has failed to feature in any matchday squad this season, and is not travelling
with his teammates to games.
RORY KEANE: Nottingham Forest have accepted an improved offer from West Ham for
winger Michail Antonio.
The second bid, thought to be in the region of £7million, comes less than a week after
the Barclays Premier League club saw their initial approach turned down.
The Hammers had offered around £5million plus Matt Jarvis on a season-long loan
deal.

ADAM CRAFTON: Manchester United goalkeeper Victor Valdes is open to the prospect
of repairing his relationship with manager Louis van Gaal but it still remains highly likely
that he will exit Old Trafford on deadline day.
Former Barcelona goalkeeper Valdes, who has often been training and dining alone at
Carrington after Van Gaal publicly accused him of refusing to play for the club's Under
21 side last season, has been told to find another club but his move to Besiktas
collapsed on Sunday.
Sources close to Valdes say that he would be open to the possibility of making a
reconciliation with the Red Devils boss but for that to happen, the Dutchman would
have to swallow his pride and welcome Valdes back into the fold.
SCHALKE SIGN PIERRE-EMILE HOJBJERG ON SEASON LOAN
Schalke have signed Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg on loan from FC Bayern München until the
end of the season.
The Denmark international was on loan at Augsburg last season, and will wear the
number 23 shirt at his new club.
Schalke sporting director Horst Heldt said: 'Pierre-Emile can play in several positions in

All confirmed! Pierre-Emile #Højbjerg has joined #S04 and will wear the no. 23 shirt:
PETE JENSON: The two clubs are negotiating but Navas remains the sticking point.
Real Madrid need to find a home for the Costa Rica keeper and can't be seen to dump
him on the last day of the transfer window with nowhere to go, especially in view of his
performance at the weekend and the Real Madrid supporters' reaction to it.
De Gea is looking increasingly likely as the hours tick down but it remains to be seen if
it's United who take Navas or if he is found a new home elsewhere.
There are two alternative endings that have emerged in the last couple of hours. One is
that Navas accepts being number two to De Gea. He ruled this out at the start of the
summer but if he changes his mind the club would then just need to find a new home
for Kiko Casilla (who would be third choice behind De Gea and Navas).
And a third possibility is that Navas goes elsewhere. Valencia goalkeeper Mathew Ryan
injured his right knee at the weekend and has had surgery today ruling him out for the
next two months.
Valencia do have a surplus of keepers with Joel Rodriguez and Jaume Domenech
available now and first choice keeper Diego Alves due back from injury in two months.
But Valencia could still move for Navas, although they would then need to move at least
one of their other keepers on before midnight Spanish time.

SPURS SELL AZZAOUI TO WOLFSBURG
Tottenham have offloaded Ismail Azzaoui to Bundesliga outfit Wolfsburg.
The 17-year-old Belgian, who can play on both the right and left wing, has signed a
one-year contract with the German club.

DONE DEAL: Athletic Bilbao have confirmed the capture of attacking midfielder Raul
Garcia from Atletico Madrid.
Garcia, who has two Spain caps, made 216 La Liga appearances for Atletico between
2007 and 2015, after arriving from Osasuna.

Calderon.
SAMI MOKBEL: West Ham and Everton are both trying to complete late swoops for
out-of-favour Tottenham winger Aaron Lennon ahead of Tuesday's transfer deadline.
The 28-year-old has no future at White Hart Lane after falling out-of-favour with
manager Mauricio Pochettino.
Lennon made a strong impression during four months on loan at Goodison Park at the
end of last season, scoring twice in a dozen starts, and Roberto Martinez remains
interested in re-signing the Tottenham winger - while Hammers boss Slaven Bilic is also
trying to complete a move for the Spurs outcast.
LAURE JAMES: Manchester United's pursuit of a forward to bolster their threadbare
strikeforce has seen them make a £36million move for Monaco teenager Anthony
Martial.
The 19-year-old is one of the most exciting young talents in Europe and scored 12
goals in 48 appearances for Monaco last season.
Here is everything you need to know about the man who could soon be partnering
Wayne Rooney in attack at Old Trafford.
