Man Utd icon 'deeply regrets' sexist comments after strong backlash and fine
Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez has issued an apology after facing a strong backlash and being hit with a fine for sexist comments he made online. The Mexican striker is considered to be a Manchester United icon, producing 59 goals and 16 assists across 157 games from 2010 to 2015. During Hernandez's five-year spell at Old Trafford, United won two Premier League titles under legendary former manager Sir Alex Ferguson. The 37-year-old, currently playing for Chivas, posted on social media last week that women were 'eradicating masculinity'. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link so we can send you football news tailored to you. 'Women, you are failing, you are eradicating masculinity, making society hypersensitive,' Hernandez said. 'Don't be afraid to be women, to allow yourselves to be led by a man. You want a man to provide, but for you, cleaning is patriarchal oppression… interesting.' Hernandez's remarks were widely criticised with the footballer fined by theMexico Football Federation and condemned by the country's president. Claudia Sheinbaum, elected last year as the first female president in Mexico's 200-year history, said: 'Chicharito is a very good soccer player. But when it comes to his opinion on women… he still has a lot to learn.' She branded Hernandez's comments as 'very sexist' and added: 'I'm a mother, I'm a grandmother, I'm also a housewife. But I'm also the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces. Women can be whatever we want.' Hernandez, Mexico's all-time leading goalscorer who also played for West Ham and had a loan spell at Real Madrid, has now issued an apology. 'Thank you sincerely to everyone that has supported me, to whom with respect, have shared their perspectives with me and pushed me to be a better person,' Hernandez said. 'I deeply regret any confusion or discomfort my recent words have caused; it was never my intention to reduce, hurt, or divide. 'As a father, a man, and a member of this community, my priority is to act with respect, humility, and responsibility. 'I'm listening, reflecting, and committed to expressing myself with greater clarity and sensitivity, especially with such sensitive topics.' The Mexico Football Federation fined Hernandez following an investigation for 'promoting sexist stereotypes'. More Trending His current club Chivas also issued a statement which read: '[The] recent messages posted on social media represent an individual's stance, which are contrary to the principles and values of our institution. 'The club has taken the appropriate action in accordance with its internal regulations.' Hernandez, a divorced father of two, added: 'I believe change begins with oneself. I will take this opportunity to understand, grow, and continue working to be a better version of myself, from a place of honesty, love for my family, my values, and love for all of you. 'Thank you for your understanding, dedication, love, and companionship on this journey.'

Can YOU guess the score between Crawley Town and Crystal Palace? Last summer's score is priced at 200/1 - while a 3-0 triumph for visitors is 11/1
Crystal Palace continue preparations for arguably their most exciting season ever with a trip to Crawley Town. The Eagles are in Europe for the first time - likely in the Europa Conference League, though they want the Europa League - on the back of their FA Cup glory in May. After beating Millwall 1-0 in their first summer outing, Oliver Glasner 's men will travel to Crawley for the third summer in a row to get their joints warm. Sky Bet are offering people the chance to predict the correct score, with odds rising as high as 200/1 for the most outlandish predictions. For that price, you're looking at real shocks - a 5-0 win for Crawley, for example, or up to an 11-0 in favour of Palace. Thrillers such as a 5-4 win either way also rank in that tier, as does a 5-5 draw. There are also options for more modest score predictions. A 1-0 win for Crawley comes in at 16/1, a 0-0 draw is also 16/1, while Palace going home as 1-0 victors is priced at 8/1. Last summer, this was a crazy affair. Palace were 6-3 winners that day, and for the same to happen again, the odds are 200/1. Sky Bet selected odds for predicting the correct score between Crawley Town and Crystal Palace: Crawley Town to win 1-0 16/1 Crawley Town to win 5/0 200/1 Crawley Town to win 5/4 200/1 0-0 draw 16/1 5-5 draw 200/1 Crystal Palace to win 1-0 8/1 Crystal Palace to win 5-4 200/1 Crystal Palace to win 6-3 200/1 Crystal Palace to win 11-0 200/1 All odds are correct at the time of publication
