From one super sub to another, Javier Hernandez began his Manchester United career in similar fashion to Solskjaer. Hernandez got a goal off the bench, albeit with his face, at Wembley against Chelsea in the Community Shield. Hernandez became the first and only Mexican to play for Manchester United when he signed in April 2010 but could only make his debut at the start of the 2010-11 season. Hernandezs first league goal came in October in a 2-2 draw with West Bromwich Albion before netting a further six around the turn of the year as United looked to reclaim their Premier League title. Despite fellow striker Dimitar Berbatov leading the scoring charts in the Premier League, Javier Hernandez began to become a regular fixture in the side. Chicharito scored seven times at the business end of the season, missing only two games between March and the end of the season. Hernandezs most important of the twenty goals he netted in his first season was easily the opener in a top of the table clash against Chelsea in May 2011, where he scored in the opening minute. United would claim a record shattering 19th Premier League title whilst appearing in the Champions League final against Barcelona. Hernandez missed the chance to become the second Mexican to win the trophy when United lost 3-1 at Wembley.
