Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez has said in the past that he never really got true chances at Manchester United, nor at Real Madrid. The star striker for El Tri and Bayer Leverkusen had an amazing first season in the Bundesliga last year, but hasn’t duplicated that magic this year.
The ex United forward was named by Jose Mourinho as one of three Red Devils that the current boss says he would have never sold. (The other two were Danny Welbeck and Angel Di Maria, and you can read the entire quotes at this link).
Mourinho made these statements while doing an interview with Gary Lineker for the BBC. Video of that interview was retweeted not once, but twice by Chicharito himself.
Subtle? Maybe. Shall we read more into that? Perhaps, but perhaps not. The social media story doesn’t end there though. Hernandez chose to ‘like’ one Tweet in which he was tagged or mentioned- from Architects’ Samuel David Carter calling for the club to re-sign him.
Considering the hundreds of mentions that Chicharito receives each day…this is something we probably pay attention to. Or not.
These actions do convey a message though.
Speaking of messages, what Hernandez had to say in the run-up to Mexico’s win over the United States on November 11th, in relation to Donald Trump’s November 8th U.S. Presidential electoral victory, was definitely on point.
