Javier Hernandez acquires permit to seal Man Utd move

Hernandez (r) made it five goals in 10 appearances for Mexico on Wednesd

Mexico striker Javier Hernandez has sealed his move to Manchester United from Chivas de Guadalajara after the Home Office granted a work permit.

The 22-year-old, who is set to travel with his country to this summer's World Cup finals, had agreed terms with United and passed a medical in April.

United have not disclosed the fee for Hernandez, but he is believed to have cost somewhere in the region of £6-8m.

He will officially join the Red Devils on 1 July.

The diminutive forward - affectionately known in Mexico as 'Chicharito', which roughly translates as 'little sweet pea' - scored in Mexico's 2-1 friendly defeat to the Netherlands in Freiburg, Germany on Wednesday.

He also featured in the second half of his country's previous friendly, the 3-1 reverse at the hands of England at Wembley on Monday.

When the deal was initially struck, United manager Sir Alex Ferguson described Hernandez as "an exciting young striker".

"He has been in prolific form for both his club and his country," Ferguson added at the time. "He will be a great addition to our squad."

Hernandez is scheduled to join Ferguson's squad in mid-July for the Philadelphia leg of United's pre-season tour of the United States and Canada.

And on 30 July he is scheduled to appear against his former club Chivas in a match to open their new 45,000-seat stadium.

Jose Mourinho: Counting down the seconds until he joins Real Madrid

Madrid sacked Manuel Pellegrini on Wednesday and outlined their intention to replace him with Mourinho once both they and the Portuguese had negotiated his release from Inter.

The two clubs had been struggling to reach a compromise as Inter were insisting they must be paid the full €16 million due to them under the terms of Mourinho's contract.

However, an agreement, reported to be worth €8 million, has been reached after a meeting between Real president Florentino Perez and his Inter counterpart Massimo Moratti in Milan.

A statement from the Italian club read: "The president Massimo Moratti and Florentino Perez met this afternoon.

"In light of the excellent and constructive relations of friendship that exist between the two clubs, an agreement was reached on the contractual clause that binds Jose Mourinho to FC Internazionale. The time and the manner by which the agreement will be honoured has been defined.

"Massimo Moratti thanks Florentino Perez for his willingness to join him in Milan and for his courtesy, which confirms, once again, the strong link between the two prestigious club.''

Real director general Jorge Valdano said earlier on Friday that the reason for Pellegrini's sacking was that the board believed the Chilean's record in Real's key games was not good enough.

"Pellegrini created a very good working environment, avoiding dressing room conflicts and he had an impeccable record in the league," Valdano said. "But in the most important games of the season he was not able to succeed and so we decided to dismiss him.''

Valdano was also adamant striker Gonzalo Higuain would not be leaving the Bernabeu despite speculation in England linking him with big-spending Manchester City.

Higuain was Madrid's leading scorer in the Primera Division with 27 goals in 32 appearances in the recently-completed season and his fellow Argentinian insists he is not for sale.

Valdano said: "Higuain is under contract for three more years. He has been a benchmark for others and is not available for transfer.''

David Villa joins Barcelona for £35 million

Barclona have completed the signing of the Spanish international David Villa after agreeing a £35 million fee with Valencia.

The 28-year-old striker signed a four-year deal with an option for a fifth season on Wednesday. He is expected to arrive in Barcelona on Thursday evening and will be put through a medical on Friday morning before the Spanish champions’ first signing of the summer is officially presented to the public at 1.30pm.

“David has a Barcelona profile,” said their sporting director, Txiki Begiristain. “Like Lionel Messi, he combines the role of centre-forward with cutting in from the right wing. He gives teams depth and uses space well.”

Villa has scored 107 goals in 166 games in his five years at the Mestalla but the club’s president, Manuel Llorente, confirmed on Wednesday that Valencia, in debt to such an extent that they cannot afford to continue work on their new stadium, had no choice but to sell.

“It is a good price and a necessary sale given the economic situation which the club finds itself in,” he said. “At no point has he pressured us to allow him to leave.”

The completion of the first high-profile transfer of the summer is likely to impact on a number of Premier League teams. Manchester United are believed to have tracked Villa, although his age, price and his desire to remain in Spain made it a distant prospect.

But Manchester City are likely to find their chances of signing Zlatan Ibrahimovic increased. The Swede only moved to Barcelona last summer for £55 million.

Villa’s deal would also seem to reduce the prospect of Barcelona moving for Fernando Torres, though Arsenal may interpret the speed at which the deal was completed as a sign of Barcelona’s intent to secure both Villa and their other principal target, Cesc Fabregas, before the World Cup.

Dunia Itu Ilusi

Dunia ini adalah Ilusi belaka. ketika anda menganggap seberapa pentingkah wang dalam hidup anda? Apa yang dapat anda miliki dengan wang anda? Apakah manfaat dari perjalanan hidup kita? Pada dasarnya keperluan utama manusia hanyalah makanan, tempat tinggal dan pakaian. Makanan hanyalah perantarauntuk memenuhi syarat bagi pertumbuhan dan perkembangan organ tubuh kita, tempat tinggal diperlukan untuk melindungi diri dari proses alam semesta seperti panas cahaya matahari, dan turunnya air hujan, dan pakaian melindungi organ tubuh manusia dari segala sesuatu yang membahayakan. Untuk mendapatkan keperluan pokok itu kita semua memerlukan berbagai macam perantara yang hanya berfungsi sama, yang bertujuan akhir pada ketiga pokok tersebut. Salah satu contohnya adalah wang. Sebenarnya kita tidak memerlukan wang, dan karena wang bukanlah keperluan utama manusia, wang dianggap sangat penting untuk memenuhi keperluan utama tersebut kerana merupakan sebuah perantara yang sudah dianggap nyata mampu memenuhi keperluan manusia. Dalam sebuah kehidupan begitu juga dalam dunia bisnes, tujuan akhir harus diciptakan, yang akhirnya sebuah ilusi menjadi sangat mendukung untuk mencapai tujuan akhir tersebut. Anda tidak akan pernah merasakan secara nyata apa yang anda gunakan atau alami dalam hidup anda kerana semua itu hanya perantara yang sesungguhnya bukan tujuan anda memilikinya pastikan tujuan utama dalam hidup anda.
