The striker, who spent last season on loan at Real Madrid, has signed a three-year contract after the clubs agreed a fee believed to be around £7.3million. Hernandez was on the bench for United's 1-2 English Premier League defeat at Swansea on Sunday but last started for the team more than a year ago.
