    Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez has pledged to repay the faith shown in him by the club ahead of the new Premier League season.


    Hernandez scored 20 goals last season despite often starting on the bench as United won a record 19th league title and reached the final of the Champions League.

    The 23-year-old himself attributes the phenomenal start to his Old Trafford career to the warm welcome he received upon arrival in Manchester last summer, and reveals he is determined to reward the faith of the fans by developing even further this season.

    He told Fifa.com: “I’ve been treated wonderfully in Manchester, and I simply need to repay that faith. I had a very good first season and I hope to be able to contribute much more.

    “I think there are good times ahead with this team and I’m very excited about the opportunities ahead in the coming season.”

    Hernandez was also quick to cite the support of his family and knowledge of English as key reasons why he has been able to settle so quickly in Manchester.

    “Moving to a new country is always difficult, but the fact my dad and my sister came to live with me was a huge help,” he added. “That made things easier.

    “In fact, what I miss most about Mexico isn’t the food or the customs, it’s my family and the way we’d all sit around chatting together on an evening.

    “I spoke English pretty well when I first arrived here, and since then I’ve been improving bit by bit, understanding more and more and speaking better.

    “But the truth is that knowing English was a massive help, because it meant I could communicate in the dressing room and get to know my colleagues more quickly.”
