VIDEO: Javier Hernandez joins up with the Manchester United squad

I think our scouting people get 10 out of 10 for identifying him before the World Cup, and, I think if wed tried to negotiate after the World Cup, it would have been very difficult. I think a lot of teams would have been after him, and he would probably have cost us two or three times as much. So, well done to my scouting department. - Sir Alex Ferguson.

Mexican striker Javier Hernandezs career is approaching lift-off with Manchester United in Houston this evening (excuse the pun).

The MLS All Stars-Manchester United friendly match this evening is set to feature Hernandez who impressed with two goals at the World Cup where he was named as statistically the quickest player at the tournament.

Manchester Uniteds final game of the USA tour on Friday will see them face Hernandezs old club Chivas withEl Chicaritoplaying one half for each side.

Much has been made of Manchester Uniteds debt problems and its impact on Sir Alex Fergusons spending but if Javier Hernandez turns out to be a bargain it is unlikely anyone will be too bothered that the biggest club in England couldnt afford David Villa or Karim Benzema.

Javier Fernandez has given his thoughts on joining Manchester United to MLS.net (warning: you will need the Silverlight plug-in to watch this video).

CNNs Terry Badu has also conducted a fairly lengthy interview with Sir Alex Ferguson.

Certainly, the winners make some dough from winning and from the sponsorship deals that can result. The challenge of it all? No doubt, there are some competitors just looking to see where they rank among the top athletes in the sport. But there's another reason to race.
