De Gea: Hernandez best finisher at Man United

David De Gea has named rejected striker Javier Hernandez as the best finisher he has ever played alongside.

Hernandez was sold to Bayer Leverkusen in the summer after failing to convince Louis van Gaal with his all-round game, but he still has one fan at Old Trafford.

The Mexican has scored just once in the Bundesliga since his permanent exit in the summer.

Also highlighted for his fitness was departed star Rafael, who joined Lyon in the transfer window.
