Javier Hernandez has scored 18
goals since announcing his arrival at
Manchester United with a lucky
finish in the Community Shield and
admitted that 'this season has been
a dream come true'.
The poacher's prolific scoring has
even surprised the vastly
experienced Sir Alex Ferguson, who
has likened him to Gary Lineker.
