Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson was delighted with Javier Hernandez after his goals at Stoke City.

The Mexican was the difference for United at the Brit.

Ferguson said of Chicharito's first goal at Stoke, a brilliant backwards header: "For a little lad he has terrific spring. He's managed from a standing position to get his head to a knockback from Vida.

"But I'm not surprised, he really can jump. He's got a good instinct of where the goal is and he just guided it in really."

The boss went on to praise the player's off-the-pitch attributes.

"He's got a good attitude, a wonderful demeanour about life, wonderful manners, he speaks the language well, trains really well and he's working on his upper body every morning. He's coming on great."
