Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has praised Javier Hernandez, claiming that signing the Mexican was a fantastic bit of business.
Chicharito hit his 14th goal in 31 appearances for United with a consolation strike in the 3-1 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday, and Ferguson has spoken out about the drawn out deal to bring the striker in from Chivas.
Speaking to Inside United magazine, the United boss said: “We have done fantastically well there, no doubt. We’ve stolen him! It was quite a long process involved in bringing him here, and we’d prefer that.
“We analysed him and found out about his background. Once we knew that, Jim Lawlor stayed in Mexico for a month and made sure we got the deal done.
"We got him across to England and sealed all the contracts. It was a good bit of business.
“It started last December [2009] actually and we didn’t get the deal done until May. But we’d been watching him since November. The reports were getting better and better so Jim spent a month in Mexico watching him in different games. His international record is incredible actually.
“He’s scoring almost a goal a game. It’s quite amazing.”

Man Utd News: Sir Alex Ferguson wants Paul Scholes to stay at Manchester United as a coach once he retires
Man Utd News: Sir Alex Ferguson wants Paul Scholes to stay at Manchester United as a coach once he retires.
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has stated once again that he wants Paul Scholes to sign a new one-year contract extension at the club.
Ferguson has also let the midfielder know that there is a place on his coaching team once he retires, should he want to stay in the game.
It has often been suggested that the former England international would end up playing for Oldham Athletic – the club he supported as a boy.
However, his current manager believes he has enough quality to stay at the top for at least another year.
Ferguson told the Sunday Mirror: “I want [Paul] Scholes to stay, but he is such a proud person.
“He wants to play in every game and I fully understand that.
“But if we can get him to buy into the way I have been using him, sparing him in some games and using him in important matches, then he is of fantastic value to us.
“Paul has a place on the staff here when he retires and everybody at United wants him to stay on.”
Scholes’ current lack of playing time at Old Trafford has seen him slip down the Castrol Rankings to a current position of 93.

While the boss has now won the monthly award an unprecedented 25 times, Berbatov picks up the gong for the first time on his own after sharing it with former Tottenham team-mate Robbie Keane in 2007.
