Chicharito Hernandez will officially return to Liga MX with Chivas after LA Galaxy decided not to extend his contract in the MLS. As a free agent, the Mexican forward will look for redemption in his country.

The sensational striker was formed in Chivas and, in 2010, the club’s owner, Jorge Vergara, made possible an agreement with the Red Devils. It was a massive event in Mexico.

Chicharito was mentored by legendary manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, and had an immediate impact on attack in a threatening duo alongside Wayne Rooney. He won the Premier League twice and reached a Champions League final. This was the emotional message sent by Ferguson on X before the new adventure of CH14.
