Javier Hernandez granted work permit

Several sites had reported this week that Mexican striker Javier Hernandez had not yet been granted a work permit, due to the fact that he had not played the required 75% of his country’s “A” fixtures in the last two years.

A day after scoring for Mexico against the Netherlands, Javier Hernandez  has been granted a work permit and will join Manchester United on the 1st of July.

The official United website further disclosed:

Chicharito, who has already passed a medical and agreed personal terms, will join United’s squad on the Philadelphia leg of July’s pre-season trip to the USA and Canada.

Whether the 22-year-old makes his debut in that game will depend on how far Mexico progress in the World Cup. But he’ll definitely be involved in the friendly United will play to open the new 45,000-capacity Chivas Stadium in Guadalajara at the end of July.
