Christian Benitez, also known as Chucho, spent last season on loan at Birmingham City. He made his début at Old Trafford and forced a great save from Ben Foster in a game United won 1-0. His first goal for Birmingham was in their 2-2 draw at Anfield against Liverpool but when his loan deal ended in the summer he returned to Santos Laguna.

This weekend, he scored a 93rd minute winner against Necaxa in the Primera División de México game, putting them 2nd in the league.

So, why am I telling you this? Well, after scoring the goal, Chucho ran to collect a t-shirt with a message for his International team mate, Antonio Valencia, urging him to return “help of God.”
