Ryan Giggs has hailed striker Javier Hernandez, believing that the young Mexican gives the side a consistent goal threat.

The forward got the scoring underway after just 36 seconds of the Red Devils' 2-1 win over Chelsea on Sunday.

"Twenty goals in his first season is unbelievable," said 37-year-old Giggs.

"You are always in with a chance when you have a goalscorer like Javier in your team. He has made a fantastic impact, on and off the pitch."

Hernandez arrived at United before the World Cup last year from Guadalajara of Mexico for around £6 million, a fee which has looked a bargain this season after 13 league goals and the forging of a promising partnership with Wayne Rooney, with the duo's performances pushing Premier League top scorer Dimitar Berbatov to the bench.

"His English is perfect, which has helped," added Giggs.

"His goal [against Chelsea] just sums up his season.

"Sometimes those chances can come a bit early for you. You are not quite up to speed. Thirty seconds, he gets a chance, he scores. He deserves everything that has been said about him."
