Chicharito at Los Angeles FC would explode his career and MLS in Southern California

Chicharito, it is time to leave Manchester United and get on with your promising career before it is too late.

Manchester United is languishing in seventh place in the English Premier League -- not only out of Champions League qualification but also outside Europa League qualification -- and in a season this bad Chicharito still rarely gets off the bench behind an arsenal of strikers in Wayne Rooney, Robin Van Persie, and Danny Welbeck.

This is his fourth season at Manchester United, the experiment has failed, and he is stuck with a contract extension that doesn't end until 2016. Chicharito, what were you and your handlers thinking?

It's overdue for Chicharito to start talking about wanting out of there, not staying longer with contract extensions.

So if he starts expressing that he wants out, and Mancheter United is willing to sell him, which you have to think they will be willing to do after this miserable season, where should he go?

There is one choice that would restart his career on a big stage and offer unlimited possibilities to market him to his core fan base in two countries.

That choice is the rebranded Chivas USA in MLS next season -- Los Angeles FC.

The Los Angeles metro area is home to 6 million people of Mexican ancestry, by far the largest population in the United States.

Those 6 million Chicharito fans are the reason it is a home game for the Mexican national team any time it plays in the Rose Bowl and fill up with 93,000 fans for a soccer game in the United States.

Beyond the Mexican-Americans living in the LA area, the Mexican border is only 135 miles away to reach thousands more soccer fans who would follow Chicharito at LAFC.

Chicharito's salary at Manchester United is only $6.5 million per year. This isn't Ronaldo money we are talking about. Odds are that MLS would at the least match that salary if not increase it. Let's be honest, Chicharito would be worth a lot more to the league than the $8 million they are paying Clint Dempsey.

As a bonus, this is Los Angeles we are talking about. The endorsement deals for Chicharito on both sides of the border are virtually limitless if he has any measure of success in LA.

MLS and Chicharito, let's get this transfer going. It's time for Chicharito's career to take off like it should and for MLS to make its next big move for soccer in the United States.

You're invited to, Gio. How does Chicago sound?
