Hernandez is a goal machine

JONNY Evans has hailed the goalscoring prowess of Manchester United team-mate Javier Hernandez.

The Mexican had made only three brief substitute appearances for new manager David Moyes before Wednesday night's Capital One Cup victory over Liverpool.

But on his first start, Hernandez scored the winning goal, wriggling free of Jose Enrique in classic striker's fashion before touching home Wayne Rooney's corner.

It was a brilliant predatory effort.

And United defender Evans was not in the least bit surprised.

"We see it every day in training," he said. "You always have to be aware of him.

“He only takes a yard to get a goal. That is the type of lad he is.”
