'Retiring from the European dream' - Chicharito in tears as he embraces LA Galaxy opportunity

Mexico striker Javier Hernandez was filled with emotion after deciding to end his "European dream" and move from La Liga side Sevilla to MLS outfit LA Galaxy earlier this month.

The forward has spent the last decade in Europe since joining Manchester United from Mexican club Chivas in 2010, going on to play for Real Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen, West Ham and Sevilla.

And the 31-year-old broke down in tears during a conversation with his father as he came to terms with the reality that his playing career at the top level in Europe is likely to be at a permanent end.
