United boss facing biggest crisis since Rooney's revolt last season

Sir Alex Ferguson is facing his biggest crisis since Wayne Rooney's revolt last season with Rio Ferdinand defying his call to join the anti-racism drive on Saturday.

Having deftly tackled the Rooney issue and asserting his authority by disciplining the talismanic striker for breaking Christmas Day curfew among other run-ins, Ferguson has been stunned by the latest challenge to his authority at Old Trafford where his word is law.

Ferguson is likely to weather this latest storm but Ferdinand's career at Manchester United seems to be well and truly over since his talents are on the wane.

Add to this is the disappointing form of Mexican international Javier Hernandez who has become surplus to Ferguson.

The 24-year-old enjoyed a sensational start to life at Old Trafford, when he joined from Guadalajara in 2010, scoring 20 goals in all competitions in his maiden season in Manchester, but he has been able to muster only seven appearances so far this season.

It has been widely reported that Atletico Madrid are looking to sign Hernandez to replace Radamel Falcao who is sought by the likes of Chelsea, Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain.

The Spanish side are reportedly preparing to offer £12 million.

Italian Serie A side Fiorentina are also interested in a move for the youngster, but are thought to only be willing to offer United £8 million.

With United having the most in-form strike-force in England in Danny Welbeck, Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie, Ferguson would have no hesitation in off-loading Hernandez in January.

    With the money united get from their purposed deal, they need to buy 2 defenders

    Chicharito should definately leave , he needs more playing time! & How is he going to get playing time when Ferguson just signed Van Persie ?
  • mrchipschipsie 23 October 2012 21:17 1 1
    Chicha is going nowhere. It is all media spin
  • Sammy 23 October 2012 17:20 1 0
    United, united united please Sir it will not be wise to sell any at the moment get solid defenders
  • mario 23 October 2012 07:20 2 2
    Chicha should stay. Ferguson sell Welbeck 6 starts 1 goal dats terrible for a striker. Chicharito is way better

    Chicharito should be loaned out not sold. As for Nani he's been given so many chances and still doesn't want to improve or become consistent so think it's time 4 him to go.. We should get a strong defensive midfielder and another central back... Fozza United
  • Gipet 23 October 2012 06:21 3 1
    SAF, it is better to sell Welbeck and leave Chicharito alone.

    Plz Ferguson u need 2 buy defender. We're so weak at the back... Leave Chicha and Nani instead sell Evans. He is not first XI material. Buy defenders and dont 4get 2 bring Victor Wanyama from Celtic. He is a good player.
  • ibnkasim 22 October 2012 21:24 2 1
    Sell Welbeck cos he is nonsense player
  • john 22 October 2012 20:39 2 1
    Let them rather sell Nani but not chicha
  • Keegan 22 October 2012 19:28 1 7
    It's sad, but chichi needs to go followed by Nani. Welback stays!!
  • Paul 22 October 2012 19:19 3 0
    Let Fergie sell Nani and buy a defender and holding midfielder
  • ziggy 22 October 2012 17:31 0 1
    Javier wants to go. Apparently his parents and his sister are talking to family in Mexico about moving from Manchester this winter. Javier deserves better and I'm pretty sure he will have an amazing season in Italy or Spain.

  • Isiawo 22 October 2012 14:30 2 11
    Nani, chicharito, welback should be offloaded, they add no value to man united especially chicha and welback.
