Hernandez delighted to score Man Utd winner

Javier Hernandez admitted delight at scoring the winner for Manchester United in their narrow 1-0 Champions League win over Spanish league leaders Valencia.

The Mexico international struck in the 85th minute and was jubilant after the game, saying it was the first of many goals to come for the club in Europe.

"It was a great night," said Hernandez. "I am so happy about the goal but also it was important to get the win and the three points.

"I always used to watch the Champions League when I was back home in Mexico.

"It is one of the most important tournaments in the world, so I was always keeping up with it.

"The goal will give me so much confidence. I am only at the start of my career with United and to score so early in the Champions League is a big boost.

"It is great to be a Manchester United player and I want that to continue for a long time."
