The Mexican striker, who became a fan favourite at Old Trafford, reflected on his time with the Red Devils and what the future holds.
The Heartbreak of Leaving Manchester United
In an emotional interview, Hernandez revealed that leaving Manchester United in 2015 was a decision that left him devastated. "It felt like leaving family behind," he admitted. "Manchester United gave me everything, and the fans were incredible. But sometimes, football takes you in different directions."
A New Chapter in MLS
Since his departure from European football, Chicharito has found success in Major League Soccer (MLS) with LA Galaxy. The 35-year-old striker has embraced his role as a leader both on and off the pitch, helping to grow the sport in the United States. "I want to leave a legacy," he said. "Not just as a player, but as someone who inspired the next generation."
Future Ambitions
Despite his age, Hernandez has no plans to retire just yet. He remains focused on contributing to LA Galaxy's success while also keeping an eye on potential opportunities back in Europe. "Football is unpredictable," he said with a smile. "Never say never."
A Message to United Fans
Chicharito took a moment to address the Manchester United supporters who still hold him dear. "Thank you for the love and memories," he said. "You will always have a special place in my heart."
