Man Utd ace Giggs: I had never heard of Hernandez

Ryan Giggs admits he'd never heard of new teammate Javier Hernandez before Manchester United swooped for him.

Earlier this year, he set a Mexican league record with Guadalajara with eight goals in the first eight games of the season.

"I didn't know too much about him before the World Cup," said midfielder Giggs. "After we signed him, I took an interest. Just like the fans, players are excited when you sign new players. He scored two very good goals in the World Cup and as a forward player, I'm excited to play alongside him."
