Javier Hernandez pays tribute to Juan Carlos Osorio

Mexico international Javier Hernandez has paid tribute to Juan Carlos Osorio shortly after it was confirmed that he has stepped down from the managerial role with El Tri.

Thanks for so much. There are mixed feelings. The thankfulness is what sticks out the most because our paths crossed.

“Thank you for the confidence, faith, security, work, lessons, daring, support, honesty, congruency, opening, growth, communication, the strength to be able to go through so many things that they said and many things more. “You’re one of the best managers I’ve ever had. The best I’ve had in the Mexican national team without a doubt. I love you and admire you a lot, ‘professor!’”

Mexico managed to reach the round of 16 stage of “the World Cup for the seven straight edition earlier this summer but they were once again left disappointed “ as they could progress into the quarter-finals. Nevertheless, there were plenty of positives in terms of individual performances and the showing of “Hirving Lozano, in particular, “ was a highlight through the global tournament.

Meanwhile, on the personal scale, Hernandez has remained mum regarding his club future despite reports previously suggesting that he could part ways with West Ham United. The Hammers have spent nearly £100m to recruit seven players during the summer but Hernandez’s future still appears secure with none of those expected to strengthen the centre-forward department.

HERNANDEZ STAYS

Mexican striker Javier Hernandez has been heavily linked with a move away from Manchester United in the last few months. Even though he scored more than 20 goals in his first season at the club, Hernandez has found first-team opportunities difficult since then.

He has often been on the substitutes bench with the likes of Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie preferred up front. Since this could potentially hamper his chances of playing in the 2014 World Cup with the Mexican national team, it is thought that he is pressing for away from United.

A number of clubs including Valencia and Tottenham have been linked with his services, but the player has reportedly decided to stay at Old Trafford according to his agent. Valencia recently lost the services of Roberto Soldado, who moved to Tottenham in £ 26 million deal. The Spanish club have reportedly made Hernandez as their number one target. His agent, Eduardo Hernandez, says that Hernandez is not looking for more money and he is only targeting regular first-team football. The arrival of new manager David Moyes is expected to hand him some opportunities.

Hernandez was not part of the United team that played against Swansea during the weekend. He scored three goals for Mexico at the Confederations cup.

“Valencia were really interested. I had the opportunity to talk to the sporting director but Javier wants to consolidate himself in Manchester. Manchester United is his challenge. It has nothing to do with money. He wants to play and get a starting spot at United. He knows that he is in a very competitive team and that he must fight everyday for his place, from the dressing room to the training field. But he is not afraid. He told me he is more motivated than ever,” said Eduardo Hernandez.

HERNANDEZ BLOCKED FROM TEAM

Manchester United have confirmed that Mexican striker Javier Hernandez will not be taking part in the Olympics.

Clubs are not obliged to release the players over the age of 23.

Only three players over the age of 23 can take part in the Olympics tournament. Manager Sir Alex Ferguson said that it was absurd on the part of the national teams to be naming so many young players for the Olympic squad.

Only three players over the age of 23 can take part in the Olympics tournament. Manager Sir Alex Ferguson said that it was absurd on the part of the national teams to be naming so many young players for the Olympic squad.

Manchester United would have to be without half their squad due to the Euro 2012 and the Olympics. However, they have received a boost in the form of Hernandez after Sir Alex Ferguson blocked his Mexican striker from playing in the Olympics.

Hernandez has not been a first-team regular for Manchester United this season. Due to the form of England striker Danny Welbeck, he has largely found himself on the bench.

Yet, Ferguson thinks that he is a key player for Manchester United next season. In order to prepare for the next season, players should be taking part in a pre-season programme, which would help them gel with the other players. However, Sir Alex Ferguson thinks that the huge number of international tournaments this summer would hamper the preparations of Manchester United next season.

“His form last season was fantastic. He’s found the second year more difficult, but a lot of that is down to not having a summer break for three years and playing every summer for his country. Next year he will be fine as we have agreed with the Mexican Football Association that he is going to get the requisite rest that he needs to perform in the Premier League,” said Sir Alex Ferguson after blocking Hernandez from playing in the Olympics. The 23-year-old is one of the many over-age players announced in the squad.
