Javier Hernández | Man Utd news: Rio Ferdinand makes big Javier Hernandez claim

ITV/GETTY

Ferdinand played alongside Hernandez for four years at Manchester United.

Chicharito became a cult hero at Old Trafford, scoring 59 times in 157 appearances in a five-year spell.

But he was sent out on loan to Real Madrid in 2014 before leaving permanently to Bayer Leverkusen a year later.

The Mexican is now plying his trade at West Ham but struggled to make a huge impact in his debut campaign at the London Stadium.

Ferdinand, who was speaking ahead of Mexico’s World Cup clash with Germany today, says Hernandez is also one of the most dangerous strikers in the 18-yard area.
