Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez came off the bench during Manchester United's community shield game with Chelsea and eventually scored a rather funny goal trying to convert Valencia's cross from close range only to kick the ball into his own face and into the back of the net. Sir Alex Ferguson said: "He'll not try it again - it was a quite peculiar goal.But he's quick to get in the box - he's a really good finisher. He's got a bubbly character and speaks good English. He's settled in very well."
