Javier Hernandez, and also known as ‘Chicarito’ is a centre forward, currently playing for Manchester United, and his first season at the club gained worldwide reputation, and has the potential to be one of the best strikers in the world. Hernandez has electric pace, and knows where to be in the penalty area, as he often scores poachers goals, like former Manchester United legend Van Nistelrooy and Italian striker Filippo Inzaghi. Hernandez is a third generation player as father and grandfather were both footballers. Hernadez is now finding himself to be a Manchester United regular, and his partnership with Rooney in particular has been a great success. In his first season at Manchester United, he won the Premier League title, scoring valuable goals on the way, and played in the Champions League final loss to Barcelona.
Hernandez played for Guadalaja before being spotted by Manchester United scouts in late 2009. April 2010 Alex Ferguson was told to buy the player, especially before the World Cup, as his value would definitely rise. Javier Hernadez played at the 2010 World Cup for Mexico, but many fans were watching him for the first time and knew he would be a Manchester United player. He didn’t start the first game, but did start against France, where he scored a goal, using his great intelligent play and pace. He looked offside at first glimpse, but because of how quick he is, managed to stay onside. Hernandez also scored in the 3-1 defeat to Argentina which saw Mexico get knocked out, and this goal was also a great finish. His first season at United score some unique and important goals. He scored a goal in one game where he used the back of his head. His most important goals were against Chelsea, one in the Champions League quarter finals, and another in the Premier League match where both sides still had a chance of winning the league.
Hernandez has a lot of competition this year for starting places up front at Manchester United. Towards the end of last season, it seemed that Ferguson preferred him to Berbatov to partner Wayne Rooney, despite Berbatov being the top goal scorer. Wellbeck, Diouf and Macheda have both returned from loans, and eager to get a starting place, as well as Michael Owen. Manchester United have a lot of attacking abilities up front, and Javier Hernandez style is probably the most unique, as he stays on the oppositions shoulder and his lightening pace scares them, and he knows when a opportunity to score his, and takes a huge percentages of his chances. Maybe pundits are tipping him to be top goal scorer this season.”
