Man Utd striker Chicharito: I'm happy to make assists

Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez insists he's not obsessed by goals.

Chicharito says he takes just as much pleasure from providing an assist.

"I enjoy making a good pass or giving an assist," he told manutd.com. "You have to enjoy those things as much as scoring goals. I never play just to score; I'm not upset if I haven't scored in a couple of games. I don't think, 'I have to score in the next one', because I know football can go like that sometimes.

"As long as the team is winning, that's the most important thing. It's part of our job as strikers to score goals, but I train and play the game to enjoy every pass, shot, movement, assist and goal. I try to experience all the things that football can give you in the same way."
