Man Utd boss Ferguson rules out Chicharito for Olympics

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson says Javier Hernandez won't feature for Mexico at the London Olympics.

United have agreed with the Mexican FA he will have the full summer off instead.

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson told the club's website: "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 he needs to perform in the Premier League."
