[edit] Club career
[edit] Early career
Henríquez began his football career at Universidad de Chile aged 13 in 2007, this was after he had stopped playing tennis, the sport that he played until the age of 12. Two years later, in 2009, Manchester United and Universidad de Chile signed an agreement to purchase the rights of Henríquez, for €4m, which can be paid until 2014.[1] After the 2011 South American Under-17 Football Championship, it came an interest of the English to sign the young talent for £3m after his good performance in the tournament.[2]
[edit] Universidad de Chile
On 27 June 2011, Henríquez professionaly started for the club in a Copa Chile match that Universidad de Chile beat Unión San Felipe 1–0 with a goal scored by Francisco Castro in the 80th minute.[3][4] He failed to play in all the second semester, but was part of team directed by Jorge Sampaoli that was champion of Clausura Tournament and the Copa Sudamericana.
After the departure of Gustavo Canales to Chinese Super League club Dalian Shide, the club desperately tried to sign a striker, nonetheless, Jorge Sampaolí trusted the talented Henríquez to replace Canales in the starting line-up for the 2012 season, despite the interest of other clubs that wanted him on loan. On February 22, he scored on his international debut in the Copa Libertadores in a 5–1 win over Godoy Cruz of Mendoza, in where Henríquez scored the last goal of the victory in the 90th minute.[5] On 28 February, he incremented his tally goal scoring a twice in a 4–1 win over Cobreloa, being this his first goals for tournaments of the Chilean Primera División.[6]
