Man Utd striker Hernandez confident of outshining Vela, Giovani

Manchester United signing Javier Hernandez is confident of making a splash in England.

Hernandez, 22, insists he can make an impact even though his fellow countrymen Giovani Dos Santos and Carlos Vela have struggled to make the breakthrough in England with Tottenham and Arsenal respectively.

United's first Mexican player said: "I have spoken to them and they are definitely happy for me and they know that this is the most powerful league in the world.

"They tell me to take advantage of the situation and I should thank God for the opportunity.

"I always try to see pressure in a different way - more like motivation. There are millions of people in the world who would do anything to be in my position and have this opportunity.

"It's an honour because I want to achieve big things. It's a very nice challenge and hopefully I will be able to contribute.

"I will always try to enjoy it because sometimes we focus so much on the achievements and our dreams, and maybe we forget to enjoy it."
