Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand hails impact of teammate Javier Hernandez
Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand is impressed by the impact of teammate Javier Hernandez at Old Trafford.
Hernandez scored his 18th goal of the season in their 2-1 win over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rio-Ferdinand-c31173 feels Javier Hernandez is undoubtedly Manchester United’s best signing of the season and has claimed his deal was a bargain for the Red Devils after Sir Alex Ferguson signed the Mexican striker for only £7 million in 2010.
Ferdinand said, “He is definitely a bargain. But it doesn't matter how much he cost, it is all about doing the job when you come in. He is doing a job fantastically well.”
Javier Hernandez has been a revelation at Manchester United in the ongoing 2010-11 season and has become one of the vital members of Sir Alex Ferguson’s first team. The Mexican striker, who is playing his first-ever UEFA Champions League, has produced some
spectacular performances especially in Europe. The 22-year-old attacker single-handedly won the knockout tie for United against Marseille in the Champions League round of 16 fixture by scoring twice at Old Trafford.
Rio Ferdinand is shocked to see the maturity shown by Javier Hernandez and claimed that the Mexican has all the attributes to become a world-class striker.
“Javier is doing things at 22 that strikers are only just learning about when they are seasoned professionals of 27 or 28. He has just come to the club and is doing textbook stuff like running across the front post all the time to score goals. That is why
he is nicking so many goals. He is also following up and is on the back post as well,” added the English defender.
Moreover, Hernandez’s most crucial contribution to Manchester United in this season is his goals in away matches. The Red Devils have clearly failed to impress away from Old Trafford in the Premier League but it was Chicharito who scored crucial goals for
them and helped them retain their top spot in the League.
Javier Hernandez has been one of the most consistent players for Manchester United and has already played 37 games for the Red Devils.
