Former Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez set for World Cup heartbreak with Mexico

Former Manchester United striker Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez is unlikely to appear at this year’s World Cup, despite Mexico’s qualification.

The 33-year-old became a much-loved figure during his time at Old Trafford where he won two Premier League titles. He netted 59 times for the United, including the final goal of Sir Alex Ferguson ’s reign, prior to his 2015 exit to Bayer Leverkusen.

The former Real Madrid striker is now at MLS outfit LA Galaxy, for whom he has netted 24 times in 39 games. But, despite his form, he is not getting a look-in with the Mexico boss.
