Former Manchester United star David Beckham has heaped praised on Javier Hernández, saying the Mexican striker has been nothing short of exceptional.
Hernández, aka Chicharito, has enjoyed a superb first season since arriving at United from Mexican side Chivas Guadalajara in the summer.
"Chicharito has been exceptional when he's played. He scores goals, he takes chances, he works hard for the team," Beckham told reporters at LA Galaxy's training ground.
"It's great to see that. It's great to see a young player doing really well who is from a different part of the world. To go to Manchester United and do well is exceptional.
"He wouldn't be in the team and he wouldn't be scoring goals if Sir Alex Ferguson didn't think he was a good player.
"It says a lot that he's playing, it says a lot that he's getting minutes on the field, obviously, the manager thinks a lot of him. Good luck to him."
The former England captain finished by wishing Chicharito good luck in his career at United.
Beckham added: "Enjoy playing for Manchester United. It's the best club in the world."
