The striker reiterated that while he was enjoying pre-season with the Reds, he was keeping one eye on developments in London.
Javier Hernandez snubbed the chance to play in this summer’s Olympic Tournament, after being urged by Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson to focus on his commitment to the club.
The talented attacker was likely to be named in the squad for the championship, but having struggled in the past few months with injuries and lack of form, the coach told him to train with the Red Devils in a bid to get his Old Trafford career back on track.
During his first season in Manchester, he was in ominous form and scored some sensational winners for the Premier League giants, all in all taking his tally to almost 20 goals during his maiden campaign.
However, last time out he was a disappointment at best, behind http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Danny-Welbeck-c10233 in the pecking order and unable to make his mark at the helm. And because of that, he is fully focusing on United’s global tour but admitted that he was keeping track of proceedings
in the English capital.
"Of course, I always love playing for my country but the decision was made and I'm really happy to be able to work hard with United during pre-season. I think Mexico have a real chance and a lot of good players. It’s a very good generation for our country.
We won the Toulon Tournament [a prominent under-21 competition held in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 every year], so there are a lot of hopes.”
"We know in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mexico-c2956 football is a very popular sport, all the kids, all the people have high hopes for the team to compete for a medal. It’s a dream for all Mexicans and it’s a dream for all the boys that are playing. I wish them all the best,” he said.
Last year, he played for Mexico in the CONCACAF Gold Cup and before that was plying his trade in the World Cup in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/South-Africa-c757. So it’s only fair that he be given time off for a proper pre-season with Manchester United, who will turn to the front-man for
goals next term.
