Following the disappointment of being the last of the English clubs to be knocked out of this seasons Champions League competition, Angry Alex Ferguson had cause to celebrate today when his horse, What a Friend romped home at Aintree.
The United manager was equally excited to announce that his team have agreed to sign the young Mexican striker Javier Hernandez from Chivas Guadalajara for an undisclosed fee.
Hernandez passed a medical at Old Trafford this week and has agreed personal terms with the club although the deal is subject to the player getting a work permit.
The 21 year old has scored four goals in his four senior internationals for Mexico and is likely to be in the Mexican squad that faces England at Wembley on May 24th.
Subject to the work permit Hernandez will officially join Manchester United on July 1st. Ferguson said of the signing;
“I am delighted to have reached a deal to sign such an exciting young striker. He has been in prolific form for both his club and his country. He will be a great addition to our squad and we look forward to welcoming our first Mexican player in the summer.”
As part of the agreement Manchester United have agreed to play in the opening game of Chivas new stadium in Guadalajara as part of their pre season friendly programme.
