**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.”
Should Hernandez be granted a work permit, the application for which will be submitted by the club shortly, he will become a United player on 1 July, 2010.
