Following reported interested from Real Madrid, Javier Hernandez has just agreed a new five year deal with Manchester United.
His representative, Eduardo Hernandez, today reported that after scoring 20 goals in his first season, the club have decided to reward the striker.
“We have renegotiated Javier’s contract and he is now committed for five years with Manchester United,” he said. “The initial contract was good for Manchester and for Javier because it enabled them both to see if they could fit together and if he could achieve what was expected of him. Both sides have met their expectations and United were happy to reward Javier after his very good performances last season. I will not talk about numbers, but it is a five-year contract. It is a fixed salary with incentives based on the team’s success in each of the different tournaments. Javier was not badly paid with his initial contract, but it was his first contract and, with respect, not comparable with the likes of Wayne Rooney and Nani. But today I can say that the contract has just been signed and everyone is satisfied.”
When specifically asked about Real Madrid, the player’s representative indicates there was interest from the Spanish club but that Chicharito is committed to United.
“It was never likely that Javier would leave,” he continued. “Talks began some time ago and United came up with a very good offer and I have nothing but praise for the way they have recognised Javier’s performances.”
Man Utd News 24/7
first
Great news, fantastic news actually…… Now Real can simply piss off
now rediscover the form of last year
Brilliant
The lad is lucky.he has a down to earth personality,his family is very sensible,a brilliant club that will always stand by him,fans that adore him and his agent is the exact opposite of p stretford.nway,he deserves that contract.why on earth would he have wanted to join the virus,our club creates legends whereas madrid will just buy anyone who looks like a good player and forget about the existing players.v d vart,sneijder,ruud,robinho,becks etc
For now. Not that contracts mean a lot these days.
Costas
Totally agreed my friend…. However it just shows his current intentions which is pleasing. Furthermore the whole thing happened with out any fuss or media intervention
This deal is great, 5 years is a long term but as we know, contracts mean fuck all these days, ronaldo proved this but hernandez seems down to earth and simple so maybe he is looking to be a potential legend, a long way to go for him though.
He had an electric fantastic first season, second one at the moment seems mixed with injuries and a dip in form, needs to start timing his runs better as he gets caught offside far too much, his all round game still needs work and to be a truly outstanding centre forward, you need to have a good all round game as sometimes you can’t score but you can assist.
welbeck should start against pool though, he is the player in form and this season, he’ll give every striker at united a real go for their money, and the fact danny has a better all round game will help him, of course he still needs experience but the potential is high.
Samuel
Well said and I also know where Costas is coming from, players these days are becoming commodities in the hands of their agents….
Anyway, I must confess to you that I am nervous ahead of our game this weekend… Not that I fear defeat or anything but this game to me has always been the big one and the one I enjoy winning the most!
Agreed on Welbeck, he should start at Anfield…. Hopefully Clev will also be fit to play. Both these lads will want it more than most, they also know what it means more than most
GET IN! Great news. Nice one Javier.
Hope you bag a few against them dirty rat eating, bin diving, greedy TV merchant’s, Real, Barca wanna be’s, has been (the 80′s suck), curly perm loving, dole lining, counsil house dwelling, drug dealing and robbin scum.
UNITED! UNITED!
as much as I love Chicharito I hate his agent even more.
He’ll try to unsettle Chica in the future.
@Costas, Ever the cynic.
I remember mentioning this a long time ago that Hernandez just seems like one of those guys. He knows where he was a few years ago and realizes how lucky he is to play for Manchester United – not to mention have the impact that he has had in his debut season. I am going to make sensational statements like he is going to be a legend or he is going to end his career at OT since it never works that way for foreigners. However, you can see the love and admiration he has for our club and fans with the way he conducts himself. So, I would be surprised if he left any time soon.
But I agree with Cedars and Samuel that Welbeck should start against Pool. Not to say Chicha has been in poor form, so should be dropped, I personally feel that one year of continuous football is finally catching up with Little Pea. What he needs more than anything else is someone else filling in for him to provide a small break. Who better to do that than Danny boy. Not to mention the traditionally hostile and physical nature of matches against the dippers would be more suited for someone like Danny who isn’t going to let himself be bullied by the likes of Carragher.
In fact, I feel we may just got with a 4-5-1 with Rooney up top. However, if Sir Alex does choose a 4-4-2, then Welbz it is.
I lyk it javier kip man u blaze burning
Maybe the Real ‘interest’ was created by his agents to push through a quick deal and get a few extra thousand pounds a week.
Cedars – not suprised you’re nervous buddy, against the pool its a potential banana skin, past few seasons united have lost down there and hey a point wouldn’t be a bad result although city will close us down or even take over before the derby but a scrappy win at anfield would be a fantastic result.
It will be a really difficult game, they put in that extra effort against us and that’s exactly what dalglish will be working on in training, its a 50 50 to be honest. united have to be very compact and disciplined at the back while also ruthless up front.
If cleverly is fit, he should start, although its a mad game to come back straight in but his dynamism has been missed, i say we go with a three man midfield.
Hey Mourinho, Mancini, Roberto Carlos…
Go for Suarez !!! Go fro van Persie !!!
Let’s see how they react.
Totally glad for Chicharito to sign a new 5 year deal. Such a wonderful person who knows what being grateful is all about. Our future looks bright with all the young guns committing to the club.
@teodranik – so what? Javier deserves it! You say it as if it’s a bad thing that he’s getting some more money when he was instrumental in our success last season.
Samuel
Its the only game every season that gets my nerves going… But as I said its not just about the fear of losing but merely because to me its the biggest game of the season for us…. When we play them at OT its just another game! Send me some of them pills my friend!
Great news. To be fair he wasn’t gonna be on the wages Wayne was on. Why would he be?: Now worth every penny. Fuck you , you Franco fascists cunts. Fuck off and do your own scouting.
agree with those that say danny should start.this is because of a number of reasons.
1 danny is more suited to the physical game those bruts are going to play.he is not bullied easily.
2. Danny gets involved more in play.i mean its like a cup final for them so they will play their hearts so its like we are going to need everyone getting involved even in our buid up play
3. danny is more in form than chica
4. Dannyboy can hold the ball better than chica
5. Chicharito is better as an impact player than dannyboy as he is more of a goal threat
6. I would rather have us utilize chicharitos pace against a tired and slow defence
7. As a sub chicharito will give us renewd energy.
But with the boss you never know,maybe berba may start,remember giggs and fletcher vs chelshit after not playing for 8wks
It’s good news,these young lads really seem committed and as Costas pointed out contracts don’t mean much at least a team would have to come in with a big offer instead of getting him cheap. 5 year contracts now actually are 3 yr contracts Gunners are finding that out with Van Persie being the next to go although he has 18 months left,unless they can get him signed going to have to sell him or face the same bollocks of Fabregas and Nasri.
If there was truth in the story I would’ve suggested a straight swap with either Benzema or Higuain who’s fallen behind the pecking order since his injury.
Chico is good, but he’s not £30m good. His build up play is quite poor, which is why in my opinion Danny boy should be ahead of him in the pecking order. Although Welbeck needs improving in that area too, he’s more of a multi-dimensional forward than Hernandez.
The Real of years(many, many years) past is long gone. All the great players will always be linked with the deep, white pockets of the Spanish capital. However, United creates legends and doesn’t buy them. The genius in Sir Alex has the gift of looking a bit ahead and investing into that ever so bright future! When Becks moved to Madrid, to begin what ended up being the demise of a gallant career as a footballing icon, the sums of money needed to attract the mega star Ronaldinho Gaucho were astronomical. Sir Alex then opted to invest in a bright prospect unknown to the world named Cristiano Ronaldo. The rest of the story everyone knows. The same keen eye for talent of the Gaffer has blessed the Old Trafford cheerful with the likes of Nani, Hernandez, Evra, Vidic, the twins and even Wazza himself!! Relative unknowns, flying under-the-radar of the football world’s superpowers. A gift indeed.. Now Madrid knows where to invest. It may not always work, but they buy regardless. Rudd VN, Beckham, Ronaldo.. I’m sure the highlight of their careers will always wear a red shirt. The Little Pea is off limits for now to the virus, but time will tell. For now, Real and their glory days lost can piss off! Get in Reds!! Time for the bin dipping scousers.. Glory Glory Man United!!
Chuffed, despite the frailty of a contract in ‘the beautiful shame’ these days.
The ‘interest’ from Real? It may well have been genuine- but aside from a few EXCLUSIVES in the Sun- was it ever actually there?
Tony Gill and Peter Davenport to start against the filth.
Hope we can go to Anfield and do what we did to the gunners.Danny to start chica as super sub.glory glory MAN UNITED.
ClaytonBlackmoresTan – I don’t know if it was genuine interest mate but no doubt they’d be sniffing around the lad if he was to have another good season…..they won’t nuture their own players they’re fuckin vultures
Rai, you’re probably right on that score mate.
Just read on the bbc sports day live page and they are claiming that man utd have told them no such deal has been signed or is about to be signed. Its the 10:45 am post.
“Javier was not badly paid with his initial contract, but it was his first contract and, with respect, not comparable with the likes of Wayne Rooney and Nani.”
SO, how much does Nani make ? I know that he re-upped his contract a while back but there wasn’t any mention of his wages – or, I’ve just forgotten !
gora @ 11:26: “3. danny is more in form than chica”
Not really – both of them have had stop/start beginnings to the season. AND, neither of them have played for UTD for a fortnight.
What is more relevant is that Chicharito – like Fabio and Antonio Valencia – have been on “international duty” and therefore have had to do a lot of travelling (nine or ten hours each way) whereas DannyTheLad has only had to cope with a two-hour (?) flight back from Montenegro.
Long distance air-travel really plays havoc with one’s biological clock and it take more than a few days to get back to “normal”. SO, I’d be surprised in any one of those three guys starts at AnFailed.
Hernandez earned a new contract and now he’s got one, thats how it works at United. Our Club has a talent for paying players less than they’re worth, and its not just due to lucrative exposure either. Its a brilliant tradition to have and im glad we sign world class players for 7 million and not 70.
@denton
not sure what Nani is on, but its no where near what he’s actually worth or could demand. I think he could easily receive 200 a week somewhere right now, and im not even sure Rooney gets that much.
I heard United denied this story? Still expect he will sign a new deal.
Well done to Javier Hernandez,well done to his agent and well done to the club. The club has moved aggressively to improve the contracts of young talent that are performing on the pitch. Evans, Cleverley etc getting new contracts as well. Recall that we used to talk about the club waiting until the last year of the contract as a mater of policy. Well that “policy” if there ever was one, is surely in the bin now. I think it is appropriate and reflects i. the club are much stronger financially and glazers have defo got the funds rolling in. ii. financial security of the club is now starting to change spending on players which is good to see.
But it has turned glazer long year spending projections on their head.
Interesting to listen to Andy Green talking on 5live yesterday.

Hernandez would score in La Liga simply by thinking about it. The kind of space accorded there, he would really find it boring there I reckon.
“I will not talk about numbers, but it is a five year contract”
Hahaha!!
Read last week if the stock floatation goes through Utds value could be around 2.57bill mindboggling really
Fletch @ 15:06: “Well that “policy” if there ever was one, is surely in the bin now. I think it is appropriate and reflects i. the club are much stronger financially and glazers have defo got the funds rolling in. ii. financial security of the club is now starting to change spending on players which is good to see.”
It seems to me that the “policy” was designed to keep the total wages-bill at under 50% of revenue. What we’ve seen in the past 18 months is that “commercial revenues” have mushroomed and the TV revenues have also expanded. SO, there’s more money available to cover that 50% in wages.
More significant in my opinion, is the tactic/strategy of having a team-in-place when SAF retires. That’s the critical juncture and getting his replacement right is what seems to be a threat to the keeping the gravy train rolling down the rails. In that regard, SAF is creating his “legacy” and this must have been the subject of discussions with the Glazers who want to keep that gravy train rolling down the rails. From what I understand, ALL the next generation of players are already signed, sealed, and delivered. In that sense, it’s a win/win situation for the on-field and off-field management teams.
What??? @ 14:41: “not sure what Nani is on, but its no where near what he’s actually worth or could demand. I think he could easily receive 200 a week somewhere right now”
What I seem to remember – correctly ? – is that he was re-signed in the spring of 2010 for a substantial raise but the reports suggested that he was on 50,000 per week. That looks pretty low to me since he was re-signed on the back of his stellar performances over the winter of 2010 when he emerged as a super-star. What’s he “worth” now ? If, say, TheWayneBoy gets 180,000 per week – or 250,000 per week, depending on the news source – then Nani would have to be in the 130,000 – 150,000 bracket.
What’s troubling for this rampant wage-inflation is that reports suggest that RedNev, TheGingerNinja, and SirRyanGiggs were on about half that amount and envy can create real frictions in the locker room. 75,000 per week is a staggering amount of money to take home each-and-every pay-day but it looks like something less if the new guy in the next stall – who isn’t a product of the academy and isn’t a local lad and has no real loyalty to the club – is making double. It’s a real management head-ache and tests the skill of the manager and the loyalty/happiness of the players.
FUCK YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great posts, Fletch and DD, I remember reading Man Utd does have a self imposed salary cap, I can not remember exactly the %, but it was more then I thought something like 58%. As their revenue rises so will the wages. Good business and this is just the beginning of the global expansion. After the game on Sat. here at a cabin in the north woods, we will have 3 to 5 new PL and Man Utd fans.
Recently I have been hearing many say this is liverpools most important game of the season and not as important to us.
The truth is that this game is worth the same amount to both sets of Fans, us & Pool’s. We both love these matches regardless of who’s doing well and who’s not. If it was a pre-season friendly it would still have the same intensity between fans and players
The match is not influential to the season but it is all about Bragging Rights, the opportunity to turn a rival upside down at their home ground is mouth watering prospect.
I hope We turn up at Anfield because in the last few years we’ve barely turned up and they’ve showed more balls while we have a been scared toothless softies.
I would love it if we could break their hearts in a epic, stomach turning, ball squeezing game. A last minute goal making it 2-1 to us would be beautiful.
@denton davey ::: what you said its like saying that pele , maradona, beckembauer and all the old great players hate the new generations because the wages were lower when they were playing? silly
Excellent news on chico’s new contract – he deserves it. Good on United to recognize his performance with an improved contract. Fuck off you fascists.
Hate these internationals on a wednesday – hopefully Chico won’t be too tired. Probably Fergie will keep him as a sub.
Money well spent.
chico = boy , chica = girl , dont fucking call him chica
I have to disagree with the ‘now go rediscover last season’s form’ remarks. Chicarito has been unlucky on a number of occasions. Not downplaying the fact that he is quite ineffective against a few opponents but more often than not, he delivers when called upon.
So I think its a bit harsh when saying he’s out of form when its not even January yet. Oh well..
