Man Utd striker Chicharito: Great to be back against Tottenham

Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez was delighted to be back in action for the win over Tottenham.

The 23-year-old admits he was impatient to be out for so long, but is now ready, if selected by Sir Alex Ferguson, to take on Arsenal at Old Trafford on Sunday.

"It was great to play again, unbelievable," Chicharito told MUTV.

"I had one month off after the Gold Cup, and then the thing happened with my head, so it was two months without games.

"That was difficult but I talked to my family and friends every day when I was out, and made sure I was ready.

"Thankfully, for the last game against Spurs I was on the bench, then I played 10 minutes and I enjoyed it a lot."
