Mexico young gun Guarch: Man Utd's Hernandez best striker in the world

Mexico U20 international Taufic Guarch believes Manchester United's Javier Hernandez is the best striker in the world.

The 20-year old striker, who plies his trade for homeland club Estudiantes Tecos, told FIFA.com that 'Chicharito' is the best player in his position at the present time.

"The top striker in the world right now has to be Chicharito," he said.

Guarch, who on Monday scored a brilliant goal for Mexico in their second U20 World Cup match against North Korea, says the good form of Mexican national sides can continue with a positive showing in the tournament being held in Colombia.

"We'd rather play our best and be disappointed with a share of the points than play for a draw and risk losing the match," he added.

"That's how we'll reach our goal of winning the world title. Mexico have never won this tournament before, maybe we'll be the ones to create a bit of history."
