Premier League - Hernandez out with concussion

Thu, 28 Jul 07:51:00 2011

Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed Javier Hernandez will be out for a fortnight after suffering mild concussion in training for Manchester United's 4-0 win over the MLS All-Stars.

Premier League - Hernandez out of action

Hernandez spent Wednesday evening in his hotel room in New Jersey after being released from hospital after being admitted following training 24 hours earlier.

Although medical staff found no major damage, Ferguson has confirmed the Mexico forward will not play for a couple of weeks, even though he will continue to train and remain on tour.

"He got concussion in training and we dealt with that," said Ferguson. "We took him to hospital, he had a scan, it was all clear.

"He is back in the hotel. He is in his room and will be out for a couple of weeks. He would never have been available for Barcelona anyway because he has just come back from his break after the Gold Cup.

"He will travel with us though. He is okay for that."

In Hernandez's absence, Dimitar Berbatov took the opportunity to shine, helping to create United's excellent opener before smashing home the third right after half-time.

Both fulfilled the Bulgarian's preferred criteria of 'beautiful goals' and helped break his duck for the tour.

In between, Park Ji-sung scored a fine goal to maintain his impressive recent form.

The South Korean then indicated he would be willing to sign the two-year contract extension Ferguson confirmed in Seattle last week had been offered.

"Why not?" said the midfielder. "I keep saying I want to stay here for more years to win things with Manchester United. Hopefully one day we will get together."

    never mind here is summat from the telegraph to read­ and take your mind off "little pee"
    Glazers­ could take £600m out of Manchester United over seven­ years
    The Glazer family could take out more than £600m­ from Manchester United’s revenues over the next seven­ years in dividends, interest payments and fees arising­ from the club’s bond issue.Analysis of the £500m bond­ prospectus distributed to investors reveals that in­ addition to annual interest payments of more than £300m­ the Glazers can take a guaranteed £160 million in­ dividends, one-off payments and fees out of the club.­

    The terms of the bond also allow the family to take­ additional annual eight-figure dividends based on a­ complex formula relating to the ratio of income to­ interest. Applied to last year’s figures, which saw net­ income of £41.6m, the Glazers could have claimed a­ dividend of almost £21m.

    The device allows the­ Glazers to take a dividend equal to 50 per cent of net­ cash profits, as long as gross profits are more than­ double the interest paid figure. If, as the Glazers­ forecast in the prospectus, income continues to grow at­ Old Trafford, over the seven-year life of the bond the­ total dividend could reach more than £140m.

    This­ comes on top of about £260m in interest payments­ already paid since the Glazers bought the club in 2005,­ and a further £23m already taken in fees and personal­ loans to the six children of Malcolm Glazer who sit on­ the club board.

    Manchester United Suck

    From Nathan, on Fri 29 Jul 2:50
  18. Why is it - whenever the subject concerns Man United­ most of the comments that follow on these pages are­ from supporters of the third best club in manchester,­ (play in pizz weak blue), and that that squeaky voiced­ mob from the scuzzy half of merseyside? (insult to the­ colour red). Or if thats too hard for you to work out­ ... Why are losers like man city and liverpool fans­ more interested in putting united down than bigging­ your own sheet teams up?
