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. All smiles: Hernandez celebrates winning the title last season

"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."
