He helped United win two Premier League titles in 2010/11 and 2012/13, and started in a 3-1 loss to Barcelona in the 2011 Champions League final. 


Chicharito also scored the last goal of the Sir Alex Ferguson era, in a 5-5 draw against West Brom. 


Hernandez spent the 2014/15 season on loan at Real Madrid before leaving for Bayer Leverkusen in 2015. 


He went on to have spells at West Ham, Sevilla and most recently LA Galaxy. 


Hernandez has also represented Mexico 109 times, scoring 52 goals - the most in the country's history - and played in three World Cups (2010, 2014 and 2018).
