Manchester United new boy Javier Hernandez is still sweating on a work permit before rubber-stamping his £7million switch to Old Trafford.
United have deal in place for the highly-rated Mexico star after prising the 21-year-old from Chivas Guadalajara earlier this season and even paraded him at Old Trafford.
But the club are yet to convince the Football Association in their efforts to secure a work permit application leaving the transfer in the balance.
It is understood Old Trafford chiefs will cite the 21-year-old as an 'exceptional talent' before the FA panel responsible with administering the process for the Home Office.
Hernandez gave English fans a glimpse of his talent during a cameo performance for his country at Wembley on Monday.
But the striker, billed as Mexico's most exciting prospect for a generation, has not played in the required 75 per cent of his country's international fixtures in the past two years and United are mindful their application is not guaranteed to be successful.
In order to secure a work permit, United must convince the FA that Hernandez is an elite player who could not be recruited within the European Union for a similar fee.
