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.[4] 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.[5]
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.[6] He started the 2010 Torneo Bicentenario with eight goals in five games.[7] He finished as a joint-leader in the goalscoring chart for the 2010 Torneo Bicentenario, with ten goals in eleven games and after spent 5 matches without playing because an injury he suffered.[8]
Manchester United
Transfer
Manchester United were 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.[9]
On 8 April 2010, Hernández agreed a deal to sign for Manchester United for an undisclosed fee, subject to a work permit application.[10] The previous day, Hernández had been present at Manchester United's Champions League quarter-final win over Bayern Munich at Old Trafford.[11] 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.[12][13] As part of the deal, United played a friendly against Chivas to open their new stadium on 30 July.[14] On 27 May, the work permit was granted, allowing the transfer to be made official on 1 July.[15]
2010–11 season
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 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.[16] 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.[17] He scored for the third pre-season game in a row as he netted in a 7–1 victory over a League of Ireland XI at the newly built Aviva Stadium on 4 August.[18]
Hernández made his competitive debut on 8 August and scored his first goal in the process, netting United's second of a 3–1 victory over Chelsea in the 2010 FA Community Shield. He came on at the start of the second half and got on the end of a pass from Antonio Valencia before the Mexican's shot deflected off his own face and into the net.[19] 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.[20] He scored his first Champions League goal on 29 September, coming off the bench to score the only goal in an away win over Valencia.[21] He scored his first league goal for United in a 2–2 home draw against West Bromwich Albion on 16 October.[22] Eight days later he scored his first brace for the club, also his first away league goals, in a 2–1 away win over Stoke City.[23]
Two days on from this display, he came off the bench to score a last-minute winner, his first ever League Cup goal, in a 3–2 win over Wolves which sent them through to the quarter-finals where they were then knocked out by West Ham United.[24][25] On 1 January 2011, he came off the bench to head the winning goal in a 2–1 away win over West Bromwich Albion.[26] Hernández became the top scoring Mexican in Premier League history after opening the scoring in a 2–1 home victory over Stoke City on 4 January.[27] On 25 January, Hernández scored the equalising goal of a 3–2 comeback away win over Blackpool.[28] Four days later he scored his first FA Cup goal as he netted the winner in a 2–1 away victory over Southampton.[29] Hernández netted twice in a 4–0 away win over Wigan on 26 February.[30] Eight days later, he netted a late consolation goal in a 3–1 derby defeat away to Liverpool.[31] Hernández netted twice in a 2–1 home win over Marseille on 15 March, sending United through to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.[32] On 2 April, he scored the final goal against West Ham United as they came from two goals down to claim a 4–2 away win.[33] On 8 April, Hernández was revealed as a contender for the PFA Young Player of the Year award alongside teammate Nani.[34] He opened the scoring in the 2–1 quarter-final win over Chelsea in the Champions League, with the game ending 3–1 on aggregate, sending United through to the semi-finals.[35] He continued his goal scoring form on 23 April scoring the winning goal with a header in the 1–0 home win over Everton.[36] On 8 May, Hernández scored the opening goal in a 2–1 home win over Chelsea after just 36 seconds to leave United one point away from winning the title.[37] The goal against Chelsea made him the first player since Ruud van Nistelrooy in the 2001–02 season to score 20 goals for the club in his debut season.[38] Hernández capped his debut season with Manchester United by winning the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award on 18 May which was voted for by the fans.[39] On 5 July 2011, the International Federation of Football History and Statistics named Hernández as the "World Goalgetter 2011", with 13 goals, ahead of other players such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Giuseppe Rossi, and Lionel Messi.[40]
2011–12 season
After participating in the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup with Mexico, Hernández returned to Manchester United to begin pre-season training in New York ahead of the 2011 MLS All-Star Game. On 26 July 2011, he was taken to the hospital after suffering a minor concussion after he was hit on the head with a ball during a training session; he was cleared the next day, but did not take part in the game.[41][42] On 28 July 2011, it was reported that Rafael Ortega, the doctor at Chivas, informed Manchester United that Hernández was suffering from a pre-existing neurological condition. Ortega also explained that Hernández had suffered from "acute migraines and "headaches" as a teenager.[43][44] He did not participate in any of United's pre-season matches, nor the 2011 FA Community Shield. He also missed United's opening game of the season against West Bromwich Albion.
Hernández made his first appearance in the 2011–12 season on 22 August in a 3–0 win against Tottenham Hotspur, coming off the bench for Danny Welbeck in the 79th minute.[45] He returned to the starting lineup on 10 September against Bolton Wanderers, scoring twice in a 5–0 victory.[46] On 15 October 2011, Hernández came off the substitutes bench to net a crucial equaliser against Liverpool at Anfield in a 1–1 draw. In the 81st minute Hernandez gambled on Danny Welbeck's flick on from a corner to steal in and head the equaliser.[47] Hernández signed a new five year contract on 24 October to tie him to Manchester United until 2016.[48] Hernández scored his fourth league goal of the season and the winner against Everton at Goodison Park, in a 1-0 victory on 29 October. Patrice Evra exchanged passes with Danny Welbeck down the left hand side before firing in a low cross to Hernández who had found space in the box to tap home unmarked.[49]

Personal life
Hernández is the son of Javier Hernández Gutiérrez, who played for three different clubs in Mexico and was a member of the Mexico squad at the 1986 FIFA World Cup.[77] Javier Hernández Gutiérrez quit his job as manager of Guadalajara's reserve side in order to watch Hernández play in the World Cup in South Africa.[78] Hernández is also the grandson of Tomás Balcázar, who played for C.D. Guadalajara and played for the Mexican national side in the 1954 FIFA World Cup.[79] It was reported that Hernández would be joined by his entire family in England, including Balcázar.[80][81]
During his time at Guadalajara, he took business administration classes at the Universidad del Valle de Atemajac and lived with his parents.[4] In addition to his native tongue of Spanish, Hernandez is fluent in English.[82]
Nickname
Hernández is commonly known as Chícharito, meaning little pea in Spanish, because his father, Javier Hernández Gutiérrez, was nicknamed Chícharo (pea) because of his green eyes.[83]
Style of play
Hernández has been described by Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson as two-footed, very quick, in possession of a good spring, and a natural goalscorer. Ferguson has also said Hernandez's 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.[84] Hernández's former team-mate Jesús Padilla described him as "amazing in the air" despite his height.[4]
