Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez who made a massive impact in his debut season at Manchester United is no longer wanted by the club it seems. Reports also indicate, he will be sold at the end of the current season.

Fergie bought Chicharito from Chivas de Guadalajara in 2010 for £6m. He instantly became a favorite among Red Devils fans after scoring 20 goals in 45 games during his debut campaign. However, he has been unable to reproduce that form since the 2010-11 season.

Earlier this year, when Louis Van Gaal was appointed as the boss at United, he accessed the Mexican forward during pre-season and was not impressed with him. Having been overlooked by LVG at the start of this season, Chicharito was sent to Real Madrid on a season-long loan.

Although Real have an option to sign Hernandez at the end of his loan, I don't think Carlo Ancelotti will go it. Also, I don't think LVG will be interested in retaining a player who has been unable to score goals on a consistent basis.

I strongly think United won't let Hernandez to run down his contract and will be sold at the end of the current season.

What do you think? Will Javier Hernandez be sold in the summer? Tweet your thoughts: @ManUtdDugout

Sir Alex Ferguson has praised his Manchester United scouts for securing the signing of Javier Hernandez before the World Cup. SAF thinks United signed the Mexican star (cheaply) before his price-tag went up.



Chicarito was relatively unknown before the World Cup. United spotted him and signed him for £7 million. His impressive performance at the World Cup was highly praised and his stunning strikes against France and Argentina proved he was special.

Sir Alex is pleased that his scouts were able to swoop on the young Mexican striker and bring him to Old Trafford. He said: 

We were lucky that we identified him before the World Cup and got the deal the done. If we'd have waited until after the tournament he could have cost us maybe two to three times the money. It was good work by our scouting department - they did a really good job.

United are currently on their pre-season tour of America. They will play a friendly in Mexico against Chicarito’s former club Chivas on Friday night. This friendly match was a part of the deal while signing the Mexican striker.

To pay tribute to his old club, Chicarito will play for both United and his former club Chivas. He'll play against his old club in the first half and then play for them against United in the second.

So Javier Hernandez aka “Chicharito” is the first Mexican player signed by Manchester United. He’s a young striker who has also represented his country and may play against England at FIFA World Cup 2010 for Mexico.

Chicharito can play at OT subject to a successful application for a UK work permit. If a permit is granted, Javier will become a Manchester United player on July 1, 2010.

So till we see Chicharito in action in Manchester United colors, here are his top 10 goals.
