Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez has joined Bayer Leverkusen in a £12million deal.

The Mexico international has signed a three-year deal with the Bundesliga side.

Despite United's lack of strike options, Hernandez was told on Friday he would be allowed to leave and said goodbye to his teammates as he got off plane from Swansea on Sunday night.

Red Devils manager Louis van Gaal gave a little speech thanking Hernandez for his service to the club.

The forward spent last season on loan at Real Madrid and has now secured a permanent move away from Old Trafford.

Meanwhile, West Ham, who had also been linked with Hernandez, are interested in Chelsea wideman Victor Moses on loan.

The Nigeria international impressed for Stoke last season and, despite featuring in the Blues' Community Shield defeat by Arsenal, is expected to go out on loan once again.
