The 60-second story FACT FILE DATE OF BIRTH: July 30, 1995 PLACE OF BIRTH: Mexico City HEIGHT: 5ft 9in POSITION: Winger CURRENT CLUB: Pachuca (111 apps, 25 goals) INTERNATIONAL: Mexico (7
apps, 1 goal) Although Lozano didn’t make his senior debut for the Mexican national team until February of this year, the Pachuca player has already garnered plenty of attention for his
achievements with his country’s youth national teams, as well as in the Liga MX. The winger was the recipient of the Golden Ball award for CONCACAF’s Olympic Qualifying Championship in 2015
and was also included in the Best XI for CONCACAF’s U20 Championship the same year. More recently, Lozano helped carry Pachuca to Liga MX’s 2016 Clausura title while being named in the Best
XI for that competition too. You may like Having seemingly already outgrown the Mexican league, the winger from Mexico City appears to be on the brink of a move to a major European outfit,
with MANCHESTER UNITED leading the race. Why you need to know him It’s no surprise that numerous clubs have been following Lozano's progress closely. Boasting excellent ball control and
plenty of speed, the Pachuca academy product quickly became a focal point of his side's attack following his league debut in 2014. He's got better and better since then,
culminating in him playing a starring role in Pachuca's championship challenge in the Liga MX last season. With the Olympics just around the corner, Lozano looks set to garner even more
attention; before potentially signing a contract with United, the winger has the opportunity to lead a talented Mexico squad to a second straight gold medal this summer. The best features,

Mexico's last two matches. While injuries to Javier Aquino and Jurgen Damm undoubtedly played a part in him being handed a chance, it's only a matter of time until the 20-year-old
advances beyond both of those players anyway. If he continues to rise to the occasion and develop at the pace he has up to now, Lozano could be Mexico's next world-class star, and the
winger will be extremely eager to ply his trade in Europe in the forthcoming campaign. Strengths The first thing you notice about Lozano is his pace: the speedy youngster has little trouble
outrunning opponents with or without the ball. Lozano’s dribbling is also exemplary and a perfect complement to his agility, while his powerful and accurate shot from distance has caused
problems for many goalkeepers. Lozano's versatility is another major plus point: although he typically plays on the left wing, he's also adept at operating from the right or in a
slightly deeper midfield role. HIRVING LOZANO | Goals, Skills, Assists | Pachuca | 2014/2015 (HD) - YouTube Watch On Weaknesses Lozano's strength and decision-making still need work,
although a move to England would be the perfect opportunity for him to make improvements in both of those areas. He'll certainly have to bulk up if he's to avoid being knocked off
the ball in a more physical division like the Premier League, while it's to be hoped that Jose Mourinho can help him to identify when the optimum moment to release the ball is. Lozano
can be guilty of holding onto possession for too long at present and must learn to get his head up and pick out a team-mate more often. They said... "He's no Chicharito, but rather
a young, pacey right winger in the mould of a certain Cristiano Ronaldo," said Martin del Palacio, the chief editor of _GiveMeSport_'s Spanish edition. "The 20-year-old made
his first start for the Mexican national team against Canada a few months ago and promptly scored a goal that had more than a hint of the Real Madrid star." _Lozano's Ronaldo-esque
goal_ Did you know? MORE TALENTSPOTTER Lazano has earned the nickname 'Chucky', a reference to his penchant for hiding under beds and scaring his team-mates on away days. What
happens next A move abroad to Europe seems imminent, with Lozano admitting he wants to follow in the footsteps of compatriot Javier Hernandez. Indeed, his father-in-law has claimed Lozano
will join Manchester United after the Olympics, but no official confirmation has been made by either the Red Devils or Pachuca. All the signs point to Old Trafford at the moment, but
there's still time for another European giant to make a move for the 20-year-old. Either way, Lozano is undeniably one to keep an eye on. If he can fulfil his potential at United or
elsewhere, he has the abiltiy to become a global star in the coming years. _MORE FEATURES EVERY DAY ON FFT.COM • FOOTBALL'S HOTTEST PROSPECTS SCOUTED_
