United played eight games in 25 days, with the Mexican appearing in seven and scoring in three. All of his goals were important in some way as the club continued to lead the race for the Barclays Premier League title as well as chasing Champions League glory.
The pick of Chicharito's three April goals was undoubtedly the far-post header to end Everton's resistance at Old Trafford, just when it seemed two precious league points might be dropped. Previously he put United 2-0 up on aggregate in the Champions League quarter-final against Chelsea, having started the month with the Reds' killer fourth goal in the 4-2 comeback win at West Ham.
Hernandez received 45 per cent of the votes in our poll, with Wayne Rooney his closest challenger with 27 per cent.
"Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez is a worthy winner of ManUtd.com's Player of the Month award, having played in seven of eight April matches.
Our video shows Hernandez scoring three important goals - against West Ham and Everton in the Barclays Premier League plus Chelsea in the Champions League.
Congratulations, Chicha... here's to more strikes and accolades in May"
