'Chicharito', as he is known, will become the first Mexican player to sign for **[United][3]**. As part of the deal, United will play a match to open the new 45,000 capacity Chivas Stadium in Guadalajara this summer. Sir Alex Ferguson said: "I am delighted to reach agreement with Chivas to bring such an exciting young striker, who has been in such 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. "We are equally excited to play our first game in Mexico, opening the magnificent new Chivas Stadium in July." Chicharito passed a medical in Manchester this week and has an impressive strike-rate at club level, scoring almost once every two games. However, he has done even better for his country, with four goals in four appearances, making him a contender for the World Cup. ## Related Articles * [Sir Alex Ferguson rages at 'typical Germans'][4] 07 Apr 2010 * [Typical Germans?
