Darren Fletcher is expecting Javier Hernandez to do great things for Manchester United
Darren Fletcher is expecting Javier Hernandez to do great things for Manchester United.
A relative unknown when he agreed to join United in a ufffd7million deal from Chivas earlier this year, the Mexican has made an instant impact with the Red Devils.
Goals for and against his new club on their pre-season tour of North America hinted at a star in the making and, although his effort in the Community Shield was unconventional as he booted the ball in via a deflection off his face, it took away the pressure of trying to score a goal in recognised combat.
Although Hernandez's chances have been restricted, he proved to be the match-winner in Valencia last night when he struck five minutes from the end to give United a rare Champions League victory in Spain. And Fletcher anticipates there is more to come from the 22-year-old. "Javier got his head down and finished it fantastically," said the Scotland captain.
"He showed he is going to be a great player for Manchester United.
"He is young and still getting used to the way we play. But he has come in from Mexico and is a real talent."
