Man Utd striker Chicharito enjoys confidence boost from Mexico goal

Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez admits his confidence has been lifted after scoring in Mexico's World Cup win over Croatia.

Hernandez had one of three strikes in a 10-minute second-half spell for El Tri as they beat Croatia, 3-1, to finish second in Group A behind hosts Brazil.

"This is a goal that gives me a lot of confidence," he said to Mexican newspaper Record. "But I'm never going to feel pressured by anything.

"I don't live off goals.

"I live off enjoying myself, off the confidence I have in myself and something that many people, throughout this year, have not had in me.

"I feel I'm on the right path and I want to continue like this."
