New Real Madrid forward Javier Hernandez will be a success as the Santiago Bernabeu, according to David de Gea.
The Spain goalkeeper played alongside Chicharito at Old Trafford and has seen him at close quarters and says the Mexican has all the attributes to lead the line in the Los Blancos attack.
The 26-year-old arrived in the Spanish capital on transfer deadline-day on a season-long loan and will compete with the likes of Karim Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Gareth Bale for a place in the front three.
Speaking o Madrid-based Marca, de Gea said playing alongside such established stars will not phase Chicharito and he will be a useful addition for Carlo Ancelotti as Los Blancos look to win more trophies this year.
“He is a great person – one of the best people I have met in football. He will do very good things in Madrid. He doesn’t play very often but he scores a lot of goals,” the former Atletico de Madrid keeper said.
The Mexican signed for the Old Trafford side in 2010 and netted 19 goals in his first season in Manchester as the Red Devils won the Premier League and reached the final of the Champions League.
He found the back of the net 10 times in the next two years, but found himself struggling for regular first team football following the arrival of Robin van Persie and scored four goals from just six starts last year.
Wow I’m Number 14 in my team and I chose it a year ago knowing he would make it and I’m a Mexican!!! Go Chicharito!!
