As revealed in the YEP yesterday, Hernandez and Leeds agreed terms over a fresh deal after a month-and-a-half of talks and the extension will keep the midfielder at Elland Road until 2020.
United were at risk of losing Hernandez on a free transfer this summer after allowing his existing contract to run down but the two sides have shaken hands on a deal which will earn him a further extension if the club win promotion to the Premier League.
