Man Utd striker Chicharito hopes to face boyhood hero Omar Bravo

Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez hopes to face one of his heroes when they play the MLS All-Stars.

If Chicharito does manage a few minutes, he would hope to be on the same pitch as Omar Bravo, who was drafted into the MLS squad by commissioner Dan Garber, a Mexican striker Hernandez looked up to as he was taking his first steps in the game at Guadalajara.

"You are talking about a legend of Mexican soccer," said Hernandez. "At Club Guadalajara he is an icon and an idol. To me, he is still an extraordinary player.

"I spent a lot of time with him as a kid. He taught me a lot and the season we played in the same team together, our club made history by completing eight consecutive victories. I am really grateful to him."
