Manchester United have agreed a deal to sign striker Javier Hernandez from Mexican side Chivas de Guadalajara for an undisclosed fee.

The deal for the 21-year-old, who has scored four goals in four senior international appearances for Mexico, is subject to a work permit.



Personal terms have been agreed and Hernandez passed a medical this week.


Manager Sir Alex Ferguson said: "I am delighted to have reached a deal to sign such an exciting young striker."
He added: "He has been in prolific form for both his club and his country. He will be a great addition to our squad and we look forward to welcoming our first Mexican player in the summer."





The club will submit their work application for Hernandez shortly, with a view to him becoming a United player on 1 July, 2010.



As part of the deal, United have agreed to play a match to open the new 45,000 capacity Chivas Stadium in Guadalajara as part of its 2010-11 season preparations.



Hernandez is United's second capture for next season having reached agreement to sign defender Chris Smalling from Fulham in January.
