Manchester: Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez has put pen to paper on a five-year deal with the club. The Mexican moved to Old Trafford in 2010 from Guadalajara and took the Premier League by storm in his maiden season in England, netting 14 times in the competition as United marched towards a record-breaking 19th title.
Goal.com revealed at the weekend that the 23-year-old was set to sign a new deal, and the club confirmed on Monday that the fan favourite has committed his future to the team.
The player told the club's official website: "Playing for Manchester United has been a dream come true for me. I never expected my first year to go so well and I'm delighted to commit my future to United.
"To win a title and appear in a Champions League final was fantastic. I’m looking forward to helping my team-mates as we bid to win more trophies for this great club."
Manager Sir Alex Ferguson added: "The last player I remember making an impact as big and as quickly as Javier is Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and he reminds me of Ole a lot.
"His talent for creating space in the box and his finishing ability mark him out as a natural goalscorer. Off the pitch, he is a pleasure to manage. He works very hard and is a popular member of the squad."
