Man Utd striker Owen backing Chicharito for great success

Manchester United striker Michael Owen has no doubts Javier Hernandez will prove a world-beater.

Both strikers struck in their FA Cup win at Southampton on Saturday.

Owen has already seen enough of young Mexican Hernandez to know that United have landed another world-class finisher to take his place.

He said: "At the moment, Chicho is a really good impact player. Every time he comes off the bench he looks lively and a threat.

"But it's much easier coming off the bench than it is starting a match because you're coming on with 20 minutes to go when everyone else is knackered.

"It will be more difficult for Chicho starting games but I am sure he will soon be a regular in the team."
