Man Utd star Chicharito will not let success go to his head

Manchester United star Javier Hernandez is determined not to let his early success go to his head.

United fans are already calling him the new Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and while he admits that is massively flattering, he is not about to get carried away just yet.

"Of course it is flattering, because Ole is a legend at Manchester United. Usually people compare me to my dad or grandad," he said. "I'm only 10 per cent of what Ole was. I need to work harder and keep improving to became like him.

"Obviously my dad and grandpa were both former players in Mexico but the biggest advice they give me is away from the pitch - to be careful of bad influences and bad people. I am their son and grandson so naturally they want the best for me.

"I am enjoying my life in Manchester. My family have told me the fans have a new song about me ['Chico is the man and he scores goals from anywhere'] I need to listen to the song and I need to thank the guy who wrote it."
