“We were quietly pleased with what we saw of Javier at the World Cup,”

Javier Hernandez is quickly becoming the talk of the Old Trafford backroom staff following his World Cup displays.

Mike Phelan, United assistant manager, has been talking up Hernandez and has stated everyone at the club is looking forward to working with the 22 year old striker.
Speaking on the official website Phelan said,

Javier Hernandez Chicharito

“We were quietly pleased with what we saw of Javier at the World Cup, he’s still on a break after being in South Africa with Mexico, but we’d like to get him on board as quick as we can, so he’ll join us in America. Then hopefully he’ll be a major influence on the team.
We did the deal before the World Cup and that has probably helped us a little bit!” added Phelan. “He has only just begun his career with the national team, but already he is a very influential player for Mexico. He’s young, he’s athletic and he’s as keen as mustard. He’ll be a good addition to what we’ve already got. We all hope he hits the ground running and adds to what we think is a good blend of youth and experience in our squad. We just hope it all comes together.”

Hernandez had been linked with a loan move to Valencia following his impressive World Cup campaign but these comments could mean otherwise.

Hernandez is still on a break now but will link up with the team in the States ahead of United’s game with Chivas, a match arranged as part of the deal that saw Hernandez join us.
