Lots of attention has been placed on Manchester United forward Javier Hernandez and striker wants to return to his recent goalscoring form.
Elsewhere in CONCACAF World Cup qualifiers on Tuesday night, strugglers Jamaica will take on Honduras with the Reggae Boyz desperate for a win to ease the fire off head coach Theodore Whitmore, who, according to reports reaching SportingAlert.com this week, could be fired as early as Wednesday if Jamaica fails again.
So is the Reggae Boyz coach worried?
“We’ve to start getting points … and I don’t mean like one point now,” Whitmore was quoted as saying in the Jamaica-Gleaner.
He doesn’t expect any favours from Honduras either as they too need to start winning games.
“It’s going to be always difficult playing away from home, but probably playing away will be best for us because our back is against the wall,” he said.
“The Hondurans are at home and they, more than anything else, will want to go at us so we just have to keep our shape, keep organised, keep our focus and we’ll get something out of the game.”
