Ferguson: You can see how quickly Chicharito improved since joining Manchester United

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson believes Javier Hernandez has improved markedly from when he first signed 12 months ago.

Ferguson rates Chicharito as good a striker as he's worked with.

He told the Daily Mail: "He's not going to change from what he is. He's as good a player as I've ever dealt with in the penalty box, in terms of movement, space and decision making. He's brilliant with those qualities.

"When I watched him play for Mexico in the Gold Cup, the change in him was fantastic in terms of how he was linking play and spinning his defender. One of the goals he scored, the centre back went to check him, but he stepped away from him, went round the back and he was in. Goal. Brilliant. His decision making is terrific that way, but I'm sure he will go on to improve and make himself a better player."
