For the 24-year-old, Javier
“Chicharito” Hernandez, the 2012 season has been somewhat of a
rollercoaster ride. The striker known as “Little Pea” seemed to be having
trouble matching his performance from the previous season. This slow start
forced Head Coach, Sir Alex Ferguson, to relinquish Chicharito’s starting
position. However, Mexico’smost famous footballer now has seven goals in his last five appearances for Man
U, forcing Ferguson
to admit he has earned the right to start.
After three years without a break, playing internationals
during the close season, Hernandez looks refreshed and revitalized following
his break last summer and is back to the form he showed in his debut
season.
Currently at 16 goals as a sub for Manchester United, Chicharito
is closing in on Ole Gunnar Solakajer's record (28) and it’s only a matter of
time before he is standing alongside the Norwegian as United's greatest impact
player.
"Chicharito is
getting back to what he was a couple of years ago and a summer's rest has
helped him enormously," said Ferguson .
"He's looking fresh and aggressive with his running,
he's always a handful and the way he's started this season I'm certain he'll
get to 20-plus goals."
Because of his impressive play in November Hernandez
captured his second successive ManUtd.com Player of the Month
award. Brazilians Rafael da Silva and Anderson grabbed second and third place
respectively – but Hernandez’s dominant 67% of the vote was enough to secure
his sixth monthly triumph.
