Quick to impress: Javier Hernandez
Manchester United new boy Javier Hernandez will have
'Chicharito' on his shirt for the new season.
The Mexican striker enjoyed an impressive World Cup, with goals
against France and Argentina, and he was also clocked as the
fastest player of the tournament.
Hernandez, 22, was timed at running a top speed of
19.97 mph, which compares with Usain Bolt's average of 23 mph when
he won Gold at the 2008 Olympics.
And United fans will see the speedy striker wearing the number 14
shirt next season, complete with his nickname - translated as
'Little Pea' next season.
The nickname stems from 'Big Pea' the name given to Hernandez's
father, Hernandez Snr, because of his green eyes.
Unlucky 14: Alan Smith saw his United career
hampered by injury
The shirt name is similar to the one last season at
Birmingham City, where Christian Benitez had 'Chucho' on his
shirt.
Hernandez will hope to enjoy more success than three previous
holders of the No 14 shirt. Winger Zoran Tosic, defender Gabriel
Heinze and midfielder Alan Smith were frozen out and then sold by
boss Sir Alex Ferguson.
