Man Utd boss Ferguson delighted with Chivas alliance

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is delighted over the partnership struck with Mexican giants Chivas.

United have first option on Chivas' players as part of their deal for Javier Hernandez.

United did not disclose the transfer fee they paid to Chivas but media reports have placed the deal as worth around £7m, including United playing a friendly in Mexico on Friday.

Ferguson was full of praise for the Mexican club for helping keep the deal quiet.

"Our relationship we have built with Chivas has been excellent, they really were very accommodating in everything. The amazing thing was that no-one in the club said a word.

"At Manchester United we find that almost impossible, news always leaks out at our club but Chivas kept it quiet which was a marvellous asset for us and full marks for their professionalism."
