ENGLAND (w360news) Manchester United fan favorite Javier Hernandez has completed an emotional switch back to his native land club Chivas, wherein his professional career commenced.
It was confirmed today that Chicharito is returning to Guadalajara as an unfastened agent after recovering from a season-finishing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury with MLS side LA Galaxy last June.
The transfer represents a homecoming to Mexican football for the ‘Little Pea’, who graduated from the Chivas youth set-up and hails from a proudly carrying family; each his grandfather and father represented their cherished United States at World Cups in 1954 and 1986, respectively.
Memorably, Chicharito agreed to a shock switch from Chivas to United on April 8, 2010, in a deal that was announced the day after our dramatic Champions League exit to Bayern Munich.
As part of the settlement, United played a pleasant game to open the brand new Chivas stadium that July and Hernandez played for each side. He scored the primary goal on the ground and received a hero’s ovation from a fanbase that wanted him well.
Chicha changed into not a big name when he arrived at Old Trafford, of course; however, he became a cult hero amongst our supporters due to his predatory completing and obvious ardor for the badge.
Javier scored 59 goals as a Red, won two Premier League titles, started the 2011 Champions League final, and, extensively, netted the final strike of the Sir Alex Ferguson generation.
As he explained in the first episode of our UTD Podcast series, his Reds career will usually be special to him.
“Manchester United is continually going to be my group. I’m very grateful for Real Madrid, Sevilla, Bayer Leverkusen, West Ham, all of them. I still love them, and I’m going to be grateful all the time; however, I actually experience that you’re once a red, constantly a red.
“What I experienced, what I lived, I can say that I became the only Mexican under Sir Alex Ferguson; I scored the last goal under him; I am the only Mexican who has won the Premier League up to now.
“I desire greater Mexican players to be in a United shirt; I will like it. But I am the handiest Mexican who has won the Premier League twice, and it was the 19th and 20th titles.”
