Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson was very happy with Mexican star Javier Hernandez and said “we tend to build up heroes very quickly here but the boy’s justifying the praise at the moment. He’s such a great professional, the kid.”
“He’s first in, last out at the training ground every day. His goal scoring is getting him a lot of credit and quite rightly. When he came on you just knew that if he got a chance he’d take it,” he added.
