As Man United get ready to play the Champions League, will Javier Hernandez be the key, as he been recently for United?

1. Javier Hernandez… Following Solskjaers Footsteps
It took him 18 minutes to score his first goal for United and just 8 minutes to score against
United, he is Javier Hernández Balcázar, otherwise known as Chícharito.
Coming from a family of footballers Chícharito was signed by Sir Alex for an undisclosed
fee in complete secrecy, he is the first ever Mexican to play for United and his move
came as a complete surprize to the fans and everyone else only to turn into confidence
after he scored for Mexico in the World Cup 2010 against France and Argentina.
He is short for a striker (only 1.73m) and does not have the physical presence but he
compensates for it with his blistering pace and skill with the ball, unlike traditional strikers
Chícharito does not always wait in the box for assists, he has good movement on the
pitch, is comfortable on both flanks and is always working for the team, truly a great team
player.
He made his debut for United in the FA community shield coming as a second half
substitute against Chelsea, United winning the game (3-1) with his name on the Score
sheet. Chícharito has in all scored 20 goals this Season in 44 Appearances, pretty good for
someone new in the Country, League and Club, the first since Ruud Van Nistelrooy
(2001/02) to score 20 Goals in his debut Season.

Goals per Game Assists per Game Shots per Game Accuracy Conversion Rate

Having a closer look, Chícharito Scores a Goal every two Games, manages 2 Shots every
Game with one of them on Target, and half of his Shots that were on Target ended as
Goals. But that hardly sums it all, Chícharito has a knack of scoring key Goals, an away
Goal against Valencia (1-0) in the Champions’ League Group Stage, two in an away win
over Stoke (2-1), a last minute winner against Wolves (3-2) in the League Cup, the
equalizing goal in a comeback win against Balckpool (3-2), two against Marseille (2-1)
ensuring United go through the Champions League Quarter Finals, one in a comeback
win over West Ham (4-2) after United were two Goals down, one against Chelsea (2-1) in
the Champions League Quarter Finals, one against Everton (1-0) and who would forget his
Goal against Chelsea in the first 36 seconds of the Game that won United the League.
In his first season with United Chícharito has won the English Premier League, the
Community Shield, and he scored in the games that ensured United the glory, the Sir Matt
Busby Player of the Year, and is considered a key player in the Champions League finals
against Barcelona.
