Manchester United cult hero Javier Hernandez has paid tribute to Sir Alex Ferguson.

The Mexican striker, nicknamed Chicharito, is set for the final transfer of his club career.

Hernandez is heading back to Mexico to sign for Chivas, based in the Mexican city of Guadalajara.

Chicharito, it's your old boss here," Ferguson said in a video message to Hernandez.

First of all, I want to congratulate you on your return to your old club, back to Mexico where it all started, where I found you and signed you and you were a great, fantastic player for us.

You've had a great career. I think now, when you go back to your old club, you have an opportunity to add to your experience and give your experience to all the players there. So, regards to your family. Have a great time and more goals to come. All the best."

He then responded on Twitter: Boss, there's no words to describe how much you mean to me. Being able to say I was one of your players is one of my biggest achievements. THANK YOU! And to my other family @ManUtd thank you for letting me be part of your history. Will love you forever. Once a red, always a red."
