MEXICAN PLAYER
Manchester United is set to sign its first Mexican player after agreeing to take striker Javier Hernandez from Chivas for next season.
United said on Thursday the Mexico international has passed a medical examination and will join for an undisclosed fee. The 21-year-old Hernandez will become a United player on July 1 if he is granted a work permit from the British government.
“I feel like I am living a dream,” Hernandez said. “All the impressions I have of the club are good and [manager] Sir Alex Ferguson is a great person, maybe the best coach in the world.”
Since making his Chivas debut in September 2006, Hernandez has scored 26 goals. He has four in four games for Mexico — two against Bolivia, and one each against North Korea and New Zealand.
