The 29-year-old Chicharito joined German side Bayer Leverkusen in 2015, after a four-year stint at Manchester United where he won the English Premier League (EPL) title twice.

Earlier in 2017, he became the all-time top scorer with the Mexican national team, when he notched a goal in a friendly match against Croatia.
