Former Man Utd star Javier Hernandez has been hit with a fine and warned about his conduct following comments made about women online.

The Chivas striker released a video last weekend on social media, where he made a series of controversial comments about the role of women in society.

The Mexican Football Federation (FMF) claimed he had made a series of statements "promoting sexist stereotypes that are considered media violence and go against gender equality in sport."

President Claudia Sheinbaum, who is Mexico's first female president, said: "Chicharito is a very good soccer [player] but when it comes to his opinion on women... he still has a lot to learn."

The former United star's current club also condemned the striker's actions, and stressed that the values were not shared by the club and that action would be taken.

Hernandez has since been fined and reprimanded by the MFA.

What did Javier Hernandez say?

Hernandez has received huge backlash in Mexico and around the world for the video, where he called for women to be 'led by men'.

He stated: "Women, you are failing. You are eradicating masculinity by making society hypersensitive.

"Embrace your feminine energy: nurturing, caring, receiving, multiplying, cleaning, maintaining the home, which is the most precious place for us men.

"Do not be afraid to be women, to allow yourselves to be led by a man who only wants to see you happy, because we do not know heaven without you. Holding yourselves responsible for your energy is also a way of loving you."

He added: "Men, we are failing in the lack of commitment, putting our partners last, not keeping our word, and not prioritising habits to become admirable.

"I understand that we are afraid to speak and truly express what we feel because they are trying to eradicate masculinity, since in certain cases of the past, feminine energy was suppressed, but many of us are here wanting to love you, take care of you, respect you, and provide for you.

"But you women must learn to honour masculinity," he concluded.
