Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez has hailed the impact of Danny Welbeck this season.

Welbeck spent last season on-loan at Sunderland, but has impressed alongside Chicharito this term.

The Mexican told manutd.com: "Yes, I'd seen him play quite a few times, and not only last year when he was on loan at Sunderland. I remember when I was in Mexico and I was watching Manchester United on television - Danny was just starting to come into the team and be given a few chances.

"You could see he had a lot of potential then, and was improving all the time. He was a good prospect then and now he's even better. He's had a great start to the season."
