Chicharito ready to face his new Man Utd boss Sunday

Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez is ready to take on his future boss on Sunday.

Chicharito's Mexico will meet Louis van Gaal's Holland in the World Cup round of 16.

"The thing is [van Gaal] is the coach for the Netherlands and I am a player for Mexico," he explained, when asked if he will be out to show the incoming manager his qualities. "There is nothing else.

"Robin (Van Persie) is a great centre-forward. He's got incredible technique which makes him world class, while he's one of the quickest strikers around. I've learned a lot from him and he's helped me so much."
