Man Utd boss Van Gaal happy Chicharito amongst goals

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal was pleased with Javier Hernandez's goalscoring performance in victory over Real Madrid.

Hernandez caught the eye in his 30-minute appearance at the end of the game, sealing United's place in Monday's final in Miami with a well-taken third goal.

"He came on and was involved in the play at once - that is very good when you are a substitute," van Gaal added. "We needed that. He also scored a wonderful goal, assisted by Shinji Kagawa and Darren Fletcher."
