Javier Hernandez launches bizarre tirade in controversial video
United success
The Mexican, known as 'Chicharito' played for the club between 2010 and 2015.
He scored 59 goals in 157 appearances for United, winning two Premier League titles.
Chicharito would later play for clubs teams as Bayer Leverkusen, Sevilla and West Ham United.
The 37-year-old currently plays in Mexico for Guadalajara.
Controversial video
The former Red Devil has faced alienating millions of his former fans by releasing a bizarre video chastising the role of women in modern society.
For little apparent reason, Chicharito recorded himself criticising women's place in 2025 and claimed that they were 'failing'.
His outrageous tirade on Instagram began by claiming that women 'are eradicating masculinity by making society hypersensitive.
He instructed women to 'embrace your feminine energy: nurturing, caring, receiving, multiplying, cleaning, maintaining the home, which is the most precious place for us men.'
The former United attacker also asked for women to 'allow' themselves to be led by a man 'who only wants to see you happy.'
The striker also claimed that men are failing in modern society due to their 'lack of commitment, putting our partners last, not keeping our word, and not prioritising habits to become admirable.'
Finally, he strangely asserted that everyone is frightened to express themselves as we are 'eradicating masculinity' and that women 'must learn to honour masculinity'.
Backlash
Naturally, the Mexican has faced a backlash against his dated views and has probably already lost a significant amount of goodwill he generated at the club whilst a player.
Hernandez separated from his own wife in 2021 and has since spoken on his own failings as a husband during their time together.

Louis Munteanu transfer cover broken as Celtic told Balikwisha's private feelings amid 'ridiculous' left back offer
Cluj boss Dan Petrescu has branded Louis Munteanu "irreplaceable" following reports of a £6.9million bid from Celtic The Scottish Premiership champions are keen to sign a striker despite the incoming arrivals of Shin Yamada - but Brendan Rodgers' declared the club would like to add even more firepower. The Hoops have lost both Nicolas Kuhn to Como and Kyogo Furuhashi in the last six months - and Rodgers insists he needs to replaced the goals that have been lost since January. READ MORE: Kasper Schmeichel tells Celtic fans what he's really thinking about fairytale Parkhead ending READ MORE: Benjamin Nygren blows Brendan Rodgers away as Celtic boss reveals real 'value' dwarves £2.2m transfer fee And reports in Romania claim that the the Hoops have seen an offer of just under £6.9million booted out by the Transylvania based club - with the club holding out for a £15.5million. Cluj owner Nelutu Varga told Sport Pesurse : "I have clearly said that Louis Munteanu will only leave if someone pays 18 million euros. I am not discussing anything else." And Petrescu is keen to keep the frontman who netted 25 goals last term. He said: "Louis Munteanu will be almost irreplaceable. If we get a player who scores that many goals, it means we won the lottery." Royal Antwerp wide man Michel-Ange Balikwisha is top of Celtic's list to replace the Kuhn after his move to Como Sporting director Marc Overmars has declared that he will only sell the winger for the right price - but reports suggest that a deal could be done with the Belgian outfit in dire need of a financial boost. Speaking to Off the Underside, Sky Sports reporter Anthony Joseph claimed that the wide man has given Celtic an "indication" he would like to join the club this summer after long-standing interest. Celtic have also been credited with an interest in Manchester United misfit Tyrell Malacia as they search for a new left-back.

Celtic had shown interest in taking the Netherlands international on loan in January, Reports suggest that after United need to sell him for £3.22million to avoid a loss under the profit and sustainability rules (PSR). It is claimed the club willing to accept that lowball bid due to the lack of interest so far this summer - and former United striker Teddy Sheringham has branded the situation "ridiculous." He told Sky Bet: 'It's very easy to spend money on players, but it's hard to recoup it. 'It seems quiet, but I bet there's lots going on behind the scenes at Manchester United. Other clubs know United's position. 'They've made it known that they're looking to sell around five players, which signals to other clubs to make them ridiculous offers. 'I would assume that's what football clubs are doing around Europe, and Manchester United are turning them down at the moment. 'The longer that goes on, I reckon those offers might be a little less ridiculous, but United want these players off the books – they've made their bed and they've got to lie in it. 'They'll probably take anything from a quarter to a fifth of their asking price for some of them.'

Manchester United Are Prepared To Get A Deal Done For This Valencia Midfielder: Good Signing For Amorim?
In a recent post on X, journalist Sebastien Vidal claimed that Manchester United are prepared to get a deal done for Valencia midfielder Javi Guerra. It is understood that the Red Devils are eager to finalise a move for the Spanish talent this summer. Guerra's Impressive Form In Spanish Football Guerra put in a series of impressive displays at the centre of Valencia's midfield in the previous campaign. The 22-year-old found the back of the net three times and earned three assists in 38 matches for the Spanish outfit last season across all fronts. The Spanish midfield ace caught the eye at times in the middle of the park as he averaged 50 tackles, 15 blocks and 20 interceptions in La Liga. He even distributed possession well in the opponent's half based on his pass completion rate of 77.9% in top-flight football (stats via His current contract at the Spanish club will expire in the summer of 2027 which could make it difficult for the Red Devils to sign him on the cheap this off-season. VALENCIA, SPAIN – FEBRUARY 02: Javi Guerra of Valencia CF celebrates scoring his team's second goal during the LaLiga match between Valencia CF and RC Celta de Vigo at Estadio Mestalla on February 02, 2025 in Valencia, Spain. (Photo by) Will Guerra Be A Good Signing For Manchester United Boss Ruben Amorim? Guerra is a good tackler of the ball and can sense the danger well to earn possession back for his team at the centre of the park. He usually puts his foot through the ball when required and is a tidy passer of the ball as well. The Spaniard can even contribute by scoring and creating a few important goals for his team from midfield. He is primarily a box-to-box midfielder but can also serve as a defensive midfielder or play in the number ten position if told to do so. At 22, the future looks quite promising for Guerra as long as he continues to improve with each season. He would bring a lot of energy and dynamism to Man United boss Ruben Amorim's midfield. The Spanish talent might even help the Red Devils get back to challenging for European football in the Premier League next season. With all things considered, he would be a great signing for the Mancunian giants to pursue before the end of this transfer window. However, only time will tell whether Guerra can make a smooth transition to life at Old Trafford.

Mexico star Hernandez sorry for sexist comments
Mexican football icon Javier Hernandez apologised on Thursday for making sexist remarks which led to him being sanctioned by Mexico's football federation and his club Guadalajara. Former Manchester United and Real Madrid striker Hernandez, 37, triggered uproar after comments in a TikTok video in which he accused women of "failing" and "eradicating masculinity". "Embody your feminine energy by caring, nurturing, giving life, cleaning and supporting the home," Hernandez said in the video. "Don't be afraid to be women, to allow yourselves to be led by a man who only wants one thing: to see you happy." The comments prompted an outcry from Mexican football authorities while Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum also weighed in on Wednesday, denouncing Hernandez's remarks as representing a "very macho idea" of women. Sheinbaum added that while Hernandez -- affectionately known as "Chicharito (little pea)" -- was a "great footballer", he still "had a lot to learn". The Mexican Football Federation (FMF) said Hernandez's comments "promote sexist stereotypes and go against gender equality in sport", describing the remarks as a form of "media violence". The federation said it had imposed a fine and given Hernandez a warning about the comments. In a statement posted on Instagram on Thursday, Hernandez expressed regret for the remarks. "I deeply regret any confusion or discomfort my recent comments may have caused," Hernandez wrote in a post. "It was never my intention to mock, hurt, or divide... I listen, I reflect, and I commit to expressing myself with greater clarity and sensitivity, especially on such sensitive issues." Hernandez is widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers in Mexican history, scoring 59 goals in 157 appearances for Manchester United before stints at Real Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen, West Ham, Sevilla and Los Angeles Galaxy. He is also Mexico's all-time leading international goalscorer, with 52 goals in 109 appearances. str/cl/ole/bm/rcw/nf
