The incredible tale of Chicha's United transfer

Here, you can read a transcript of Chicharito's passionate and unmissable story...

“Me. Playing in my hometown club, Chivas? It was my dream.

“I was scoring goals. I was getting my first call-ups with the national team. A World Cup was coming. And from behind, I did not know that Manchester United was following me.

“I cannot even believe it now. It was like, wow.

“I haven’t talked about this story before because that’s another reason why I think Sir Alex Ferguson and everyone at United trusted in me and my family.

“I think that was the cherry of the pie for everyone to agree that I should deserve a chance of trying Manchester United because you know about that school of thought and that culture.
