Manchester United assistant boss Mike Phelan believes new signing Javier Hernandez can establish himself as an important player at Old Trafford after watching him shine at the World Cup.

Hernandez was an unknown quantity in England when he sealed a switch to United before the finals, but moved from obscurity to centre stage as he netted twice for Mexico in South Africa.
And Phelan is confident that the 22-year-old striker can prove his worth for Sir Alex Ferguson's side next season.
"We were quietly pleased with what we saw of Javier at the World Cup," Phelan said. "He is still on a break but we would like to get him on board as quickly as we can, so he will join us in America [on United's pre-season tour].
"Then hopefully he will be a major influence on the team. We did the deal before the World Cup and that has probably helped us a little bit. He has only just begun his career with the national team but already he is a very influential player for Mexico.''
Hernandez, son of Javier Hernandez who played for Mexico in the 1986 World Cup, came to United's attention after scoring 29 goals in 79 games for former club Guadalajara.
"He is young, athletic and as keen as mustard," Phelan said. "He will be a good addition. We all hope he hits the ground running and adds to what we think is a good blend of youth and experience in our squad. We just hope it all comes together.''
