Javier Hernandez named in Mexico's World Cup squad

Manchester United forward Javier Hernandez has been named in the Mexico squad for this summer's World Cup.

The 25-year-old has found his chances limited at Old Trafford this season and has only started six Premier League games for the club.

Despite this, he has been included by manager Miguel Herrera and joins fellow striker Giovani dos Santos in the 23-man squad.

Former Barcelona defender Rafael Marquez and Carlos Salcido are among those to make the cut, but there is no place for Carlos Vela, who has scored 20 goals for Real Sociedad this season.
