David Beckham has praised Manchester United striker Chicharito and wants the young Mexican to enjoy his time with the ‘best club in the world.’

Chicharito – real name Javier Hernandez – has been a revelation this season for Sir Alex Ferguson’s side, and the former United winger has been suitably impressed by the forward’s debut season.

“Chicharito has been exceptional when he’s played,” Beckham said after training with the LA Galaxy on Friday. “He scores goals, he takes chances, he works hard for the team.

“It’s great to see that. It’s great to see a young player doing really well who is from a different part of the world. To go to Manchester United and do well is exceptional.”

Beckham also made it clear that Hernandez had to earn his way onto the field, as Ferguson doesn’t give minutes to players who don’t fit into what he wants to see on the pitch.

“He wouldn’t be in the team and he wouldn’t be scoring goals if Sir Alex Ferguson didn’t think he was a good player,” Beckham said.

“It says a lot that he’s playing, it says a lot that he’s getting minutes on the field, obviously, the manager thinks a lot of him. Good luck to him.”

Aside from the praise, Beckham also had a bit of advice for the newest United star.

He added: “Enjoy playing for Manchester United. It’s the best club in the world.”
