GLAD TO BE HOME: Manchester United ace Javier Hernandez

The 25-year-old shared his thoughts on being on the peripherals of life at Old Trafford of late, who cost the club £7m four years-ago.

Speaking while on international duty with Mexico, he said: "I'm very eager to play as my club don't take me much into account.

"I hope I have the opportunity to play [for Mexico].

"When you are called up, you have to be thankful and if not called up, you have to keep working.

"I'm very happy and thankful with this call-up, like I was when I was called up for the first time."

Hernandez, who was linked with moves to Tottenham, Inter Milan and Juventus earlier this year, is said to have spurned the chance to leave the club during the winter transfer window.Hernandez was recently forced to refute claims he was lashing out at team-mate Robin van Persie when he posted a message on Twitter regarding teamwork last month.

Chicarito moved to dispel reports that the tweet had been directed at his team-mate van Persie, today.

"Before I go to sleep, I need to put this cause things get a little out of context..." Hernandez posted on Twitter.

"Why do the press always take my comments out of context, my comment on Instagram had nothing to do with RVP.
