Javier Hernández Balcázar (Spanish pronunciation: [xaˈβjer erˈnandes]; born 1 June 1988), also known simply as Chicharito (Spanish: little pea), is a Mexican footballer who plays as a forward for Manchester United, being the first Mexican to do so. He previously played for Mexican club Guadalajara. He made his début for the Mexico national football team in September 2009 in a match against Colombia and represented them at the 2010 FIFA World Cup, scoring twice. He is the son of Javier Hernández Gutiérrez and the grandson of Tomás Balcázar.

Early life

Hernández was born in Guadalajara, Jalisco and first played in a recreation league when he was seven years old. His father, Javier Hernández Gutiérrez, himself a previous Mexican international striker, said he never thought his son would actually make it as a professional. Hernández joined C.D. Guadalajara at the age of nine and signed his first professional contract when he was 15.[3] He was set to play in the 2005 FIFA U-17 World Championship, but an injury sidelined him from the team that ultimately won the championship.[4]

Club career

C.D. Guadalajara

Hernández began playing with Chivas' lower division team, Chivas Coras in Tepic, Nayarit in the 2005–06 season. He made his debut for Chivas in the 2006 Apertura in a win over Necaxa at Estadio Jalisco. With the score at 3–0, Hernández came on as a substitute for Omar Bravo in the 82nd minute, before scoring the fourth goal of the game five minutes later. It was his only goal in seven appearances in 2006–07. He made a further six appearances in 2007–08 without scoring.
Hernández made ten appearances in the 2008 Apertura without scoring, but he scored four goals in fifteen appearances in the 2009 Clausura. In the 2009 Apertura, Hernández finished as the joint-third top scorer, with eleven goals in seventeen appearances.[5] He started the 2010 Torneo Bicentenario with eight goals in five games.[6] He finished as a joint-leader in the goalscoring chart for the 2010 Torneo Bicentenario, with ten goals in eleven games.[7]

Manchester United

English Premier League club Manchester United was first made aware of Hernández in October 2009; a scout went to Mexico that December and reported positively after watching a few games. Because of Hernández's age, the club originally planned to wait before making a move to sign him, but his potential involvement with the national team at the World Cup rushed the club into making a bid. United's chief scout, Jim Lawlor, was sent to Mexico for three weeks in February and March to watch Hernández and filed another positive report on him, before the club solicitor went over to Mexico to finalise the paperwork.[8]
On 8 April 2010, Hernández agreed a deal to sign for Manchester United for an undisclosed fee, subject to a work permit application.[9] The previous day, Hernández had been present at Manchester United's UEFA Champions League quarter-final second leg win over Bayern Munich at Old Trafford.[10] The deal was conducted in complete secrecy; Hernández's agent was kept in the dark, as was his grandfather Tomás Balcázar, who thought Hernández was going on a trip to Atlanta in the United States.[11][12] As part of the deal, United played a friendly against Chivas to open their new 45,000-capacity stadium on 30 July.[13] On 27 May, the work permit was granted, allowing the transfer to be made official on 1 July.[14]
Hernández made his United debut on 28 July, coming on as a 63rd-minute substitute for Nani in the 2010 MLS All-Star Game; he then scored his first goal for the club 18 minutes later, lobbing the ball over Nick Rimando from just outside the area after a long through-ball from Darren Fletcher.[15] Two days later, Hernández scored against Manchester United while playing in a friendly for his old club, Chivas; he started the game in a Chivas jersey and scored after just eight minutes. He switched sides at half-time, but he was unable to prevent a 3–2 defeat for Manchester United.[16] Hernández then scored for the third pre-season game in a row as he came off the bench at half-time to net United's third goal in a 7–1 victory over a League of Ireland XI at the newly built Aviva Stadium on 4 August.[17]


Hernández scored his first competitive goal on 8 August, scoring United's second goal in the 3–1 victory over Chelsea in the 2010 FA Community Shield. Coming on at the start of the second half, Hernández got on the end of a pass from Antonio Valencia before the Mexican's shot deflected off his own face and into the net.[18] On 16 August, Hernández made his Premier League debut as he replaced Wayne Rooney in the 63rd minute of their 3–0 home victory over Newcastle United in the opening fixture of the new season.[19] On 29 September, Hernández scored his first goal in European competition as he scored the only goal in a 1–0 away victory over Valencia in their second group game of the Champions League campaign.[20] Hernández scored his first league goal for United as he opened the scoring in a 2–2 home draw against West Bromwich Albion on 16 October.[21] Eight days later he scored his first brace for the club, also his first away league goals, as he scored twice in a 2–1 win over Stoke City.[22] Two days later he came off the bench in the 81st minute for Bébé to score a last-minute winner, his first League Cup goal, in a 3–2 home victory over Wolves to progress to the Quarter-Final.[23] On 1 January 2011, Hernández came off the bench at The Hawthorns to head the winning goal in a 2–1 victory over West Bromwich Albion.[24] Three days later Hernández became the top scoring Mexican in Premier League history after opening the scoring in a 2–1 home victory over Stoke City.[25] Hernández scored his first goal of 2011 as he netted United's first goal of the 2–1 victory over Stoke on January 4th and then scoring the equalizing goal of a 3–2 comeback away win over Blackpool on 25 January.[26] Four days later he scored his first FA Cup goal as he netted the winner in a 2–1 away victory over Southampton.[27] Hernández netted twice in a 4–0 away win over Wigan on 26 February.[28] Eight days later he netted a late consolation goal in a 3–1 derby defeat away to Liverpool.[29]

Post World Cup

He scored another goal in his first match for Mexico since the World Cup, in a friendly against world champions Spain on 11 August 2010.

Nickname

Hernández is commonly known as Chicharito, meaning little pea in Spanish, in reference to being the son of former footballer Javier Hernández Gutiérrez, who was nicknamed Chicharo (pea) because of his green eyes.[58]

Style of play

Hernández has been described by Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson as two-footed, very quick, in possession of a good spring, and a natural goalscorer. Ferguson has also said Hernandez' style reminds him of former United striker Ole Gunnar Solskjær - the so-called "baby-faced assassin" who scored the injury time winner against Bayern Munich in United's 1999 Champions League triumph.[59] Hernández's former team-mate Jesús Padilla described him as "amazing in the air" despite his height
