Javier Hernandez signs new deal at Manchester United

JAVIER HERNANDEZ has signed a new five-year deal at Manchester United.

SunSport revealed on Tuesday that Spanish giants Real Madrid were planning a £30million swoop for the Mexican, 23.

But the Red Devils were determined to tie the Little Pea to an improved contract — tripling his wages from £25,000 a week to £75,000.

Eduardo Hernandez, the striker's representative, said: "We have renegotiated Javier's contract and he is now committed for five years with United.

"The initial contract was good for Manchester and for Javier because it enabled them both to see if they could fit together and if he could achieve what was expected of him.

"Both sides have met their expectations and United were happy to reward Javier after his very good performances last season.

"I will not talk about numbers but it is a five-year contract. It is a fixed salary with incentives based on the team's success in each of the different tournaments.

"Javier was not badly paid with his initial contract, but it was his first contract and, with respect, not comparable with the likes of Wayne Rooney and Nani.

"But today I can say that the contract has just been signed and everyone is satisfied."
