Javier Hernandez could well be on his way back to the Bernabeu if a brand new advert featuring him in Real Madrid colours is anything to go by.

An advert for Kuwaiti telecoms company Viva, an official partner of the Spanish side, sees Madrid stars Toni Kroos, Keylor Navas and Alvaro Arbeloa line up with a group of young fans to take on some presumably evil rivals. Unsurprisingly the power of the Madrid players helps the youngsters to victory, with a spectacular overhead shot with a player's stomach being the highlight.

The current Madrid players are joined by Hernandez, who spent last season on loan at the club, scoring the winning goal in the Champions League quarter finals. The club chose not to permanently sign the Mexican striker from Manchester United, who are expected to allow the 27-year-old to depart this summer.

Speaking to AS last month Hernandez said: "Now I'm with Manchester United. Madrid did not activate the option to buy me. If Madrid want me next season they will have to fight with other clubs that want me."

Both Liverpool and West Ham have been linked with moves for the striker but this video may just suggest that Hernandez still has a future at Madrid.
