Javier Hernandez: Ex-Man Utd man cries in emotional interview addressing 'bad father' criticism

Javier Hernandez has given an emotional interview amid accusations that he is a ‘bad father’.

The Mexican striker is best known to British football fans for his time leading the line at Manchester United, scoring 59 goals in 157 games and winning two Premier League titles.

Hernandez has also played for Real Madrid, West Ham United, Bayer Leverkusen and Sevilla across a stellar career that has yielded 109 caps and 52 goals for the Mexican national team.

Now, the 33-year-old is plying his trade in Major League Soccer by following in the footsteps of players like David Beckham, Steven Gerrard and Robbie Keane in representing LA Galaxy.

‘Chicharito’ is currently playing in his third season in the United States and boasts a record of 25 goals in 48 appearances across his time in California.

But it was matters away from the pitch that brought Hernandez into the public eye this week when he gave an emotional interview about fatherhood and his battles with depression.

According to the Mirror, Hernandez said that he hadn’t seen his two children, Nala and Noah, for over a year having separated with his partner, Sarah Kohan.

The Mexican forward, who was visibly upset in the interview with tears in his eyes, also addressed accusations that he says he’s received about supposedly being a ‘bad father’.

And per the Mirror’s translation, Hernandez duly explained to Mexican network ViX: “I have not wanted them to know and to know that, but yes, they are the two beings I love the most in my life.
