Javier Hernández Balcázar born 1 June 1988), also known simply as Chicharito, is a Mexican footballer who currently plays as a forward for Manchester United, being the first Mexican to do so, and the Mexican national team. He previously played for Mexican club Guadalajara. He made his debut for Mexico in September 2009 in a match against Colombia and represented them at the 2010 FIFA World Cup, scoring twice. He is the son of Javier Hernández Gutiérrez and the grandson of Tomás Balcázar.
Hernández was born in Guadalajara, Jalisco and first played in a recreation league when he was seven years old. His father, Javier Hernández Gutiérrez, himself a previous Mexican international striker, said he never thought his son would actually make it as a professional. Hernández joined C.D. Guadalajara at the age of nine and signed his first professional contract when he was 15. He was set to play in the 2005 FIFA U-17 World Championship, but an injury sidelined him from the team that ultimately won the championship.
