Madrid have 48 hours to decide if they'll be keeping Hernandez ...They better

Real Madrid have 48 hours to make a decision on Javier Hernandez as the clock runs down on their first option to buy the Manchester United striker.

Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said on Monday that the European champions would take stock of Hernandez's situation at the end of the season. 

However, under the terms set out by United when they loaned the 26-year-old to Madrid, Thursday April 30 marks the end of the Spanish club's 'exclusivity period' to buy the player.
