Mexico coach Miguel Herrera urges Javier Hernandez to leave Manchester United

Mexico coach Miguel Herrera believes that Javier Hernandez should leave Manchester United in order to benefit his career.

The 26-year-old forward has fallen down the pecking order in recent seasons at Old Trafford, raising questions over his long-term future.

The Mexican is said to be one of seven players who have been told by manager Louis van Gaal that they can leave the Red Devils this summer.

Italian giants Juventus have emerged as possible suitors for the striker, who made four substitute appearances for Mexico at the World Cup in Brazil.

"I think [Hernandez] needs to leave," Herrera told ESPN. "I think [Juventus] would be a good option for him.

"When a coach doesn't want you, when you have your best experience, your best moment with them, and now the coach that wanted you is no longer there - it's time to move."

Hernandez has been a United player since 2010.
