Manchester United will allow Federico Macheda to leave on loan in January so he can gain regular action.
The 19-year-old Italian striker has seen chances decrease as Hernandez, Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov are all ahead of him in the pecking order.
And Tuttomercatoweb.com claims Sir Alex Ferguson will sanction a loan move so the youngster can gain experience away from Old Trafford.
United are not interested in selling, but a loan switch could suit both club and player.
Lazio have recently been linked with the hitman - they are looking for a striker, and news of Roque Santa Cruz's decision not to join them on loan has led to speculation the Italians could throw together a move for Macheda.
Last month his agent Giovanni Bia claimed he was not leaving United during the transfer window.
