Javier Hernandez could become "a major influence" at Old Trafford, according to Manchester United assistant manager Mike Phelan. The 22-year-old Mexico striker sealed a deal before the World Cup and went on to score two goals in South Africa.
Phelan said: "We were quietly pleased with what we saw of Javier at the World Cup.
"He is still on a break but we would like to get him on board as quickly as we can, so he will join us in America. Then hopefully he will be a major influence on the team.
"We did the deal before the World Cup and that has probably helped us a little bit! He has only just begun his career with the national team but already he is a very influential player for Mexico."
Phelan added on ManUtd.com: "He is young, athletic and as keen as mustard. He will be a good addition.
"We all hope he hits the ground running and adds to what we think is a good blend of youth and experience in our squad. We just hope it all comes together."
