Football News

A former Manchester United Premier League winner recently met up with a familiar face before his current team`s match last weekend.

At 36 years old, the well-known goal-scorer is currently playing for his boyhood club, where his career began.

The forward, known for his small stature, joined Manchester United in 2010 after representing Mexico at the World Cup in South Africa.

Despite facing competition for playing time from top strikers like Wayne Rooney, Dimitar Berbatov, and Michael Owen, the 5ft 9in player proved his worth.

The Mexican international scored 20 goals in all competitions in his debut season, establishing himself as a dangerous finisher in the penalty area.

His contributions were vital in Manchester United`s Premier League title win that season, where they finished comfortably ahead of their rivals.

He continued his scoring form with 12 and 18 goals in the following two seasons, as Manchester United secured their most recent Premier League title in 2013.

After Sir Alex Ferguson`s departure, the speedy striker`s role diminished, and following a loan spell in 2014-15, he eventually left the club.

The player in question is Javier Hernandez, often nicknamed Chicharito.

Hernandez scored 59 goals in 157 appearances for Manchester United, becoming a fan favorite.

He currently plays for Guadalajara in Mexico, the same club Manchester United signed him from 15 years ago.

Known for his short, dark hair during his time at Manchester United, Hernandez now sports a completely bald look.

Before Guadalajara`s game against Monterrey on Sunday, Hernandez was seen chatting with Sergio Ramos in the tunnel.

The two players were teammates at Real Madrid during the 2014-15 season, where Hernandez scored nine goals while on loan from Manchester United.

Ramos, 39, shared a laugh with his former teammate in the tunnel before they hugged and prepared to play for their respective teams.

Ramos`s team, Monterrey, won the match 3-1.

Hernandez left Manchester United in 2015 to join Bayer Leverkusen, where he scored an impressive 39 goals in 76 games for the German club.

He later returned to England with West Ham, scoring 17 goals in two seasons.

After a brief spell with Sevilla, Hernandez moved to LA Galaxy and continued his prolific goal-scoring record.

Last year, he made an emotional return to Guadalajara, even taking on the captain`s role on occasion.
