Chicharito Hernández played for Manchester United during more than four years. He first arrived when the Red Devils signed him from Chivas for $8 million and the when he came back from a loan at Real Madrid, on 2015. He played 157 matches, scored 59 goals and had all type of companions there.

One of those was Antonio Valencia, the Ecuadorian who passed a decade on MUFC, since his arrival at 2009 until his departure on 2019. He arrived for $20 million from Wigan, and he left for free and signed with Liga de Quito last year. He played 339 matches, scoring 25 goals and giving 62 assists.


At the age of 35 and after so many experiences, Valencia is set to arrive to the Liga MX. Local press report that the defender will play for Querétaro since the start of the Clausura next year. It is said that the player, who arrives as a free agent, has already agreed his contract and will stay for at least a year.


His compatriot Jefferson Montero has been important on the signing, as he already will play for Querétaro now. Both players are represented by the same agency and that started the rumors which indicate that the defender who passed 10 years a MUFC and played aside Chicharito will arrive to the Liga MX.
