Mexico coach Miguel Herrera is delighted for Javier Hernandez over his sudden scoring success for Real Madrid.

Chicharito, on-loan from Manchester United, has scored three goals in two games for Real.

Herrera told Marca: "No wonder he struggled before, he's played so little because competition is huge in a club like Madrid. He is a striker who, even without playing, has made progress. He has power, has improved his technique ... he is a typical penalty box goalscorer.

"If you look, he always scores when given a chance. This is why he is a top world class striker, but to know him, he really should be a starter for a big club. At United, he had much better goal percentage playing more than others.

"He may have to take a step down, but join an important team, where he's a certain starter and can show he is a big striker."
