Javier Hernández's former club claim he has a neurological condition

Sir Alex Ferguson has said he has no lingering concerns about Javier Hernández's health despite claims from the Mexican's former club that the striker is suffering from a pre-existing condition that had never been revealed to his current employers.

Hernández was taken to hospital on Tuesday evening after complaining of dizziness and the concerns about the Manchester United striker were exacerbated when Rafael Ortega, the doctor at Chivas de Guadalajara, told reporters in Mexico that the player had suffered from neurological issues since he was a teenager.

Ortega said: "I remember in his time as a youth player at Chivas he suffered from acute migraines. Originally it manifested itself as a headache but afterwards the symptoms disappeared. We had some studies done on him but that was six years ago and he has done well since."

Hernández had an MRI scan that gave him the all-clear but United's medical staff may choose to request more information from Chivas about the player's medical past.

Ortega added: "I don't know if this will affect him in the future but I'm sure United will send him to a specialist and the situation will be resolved."
