Javier Hernandez says he cannot wait for the start if the Premier League season and looks forward to going back to his ‘old home’ on Sunday.
West Ham travel to Old Trafford this weekend to take on Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United in their opening fixture of the new campaign.
Hernandez – who joined West Ham from Bayer Leverkusen earlier this summer – played for United 157 times, scoring 59 goals in his five year career with the Red Devils, and the Mexico star says he is excited to return to his once stomping ground.
“I don’t know how to describe the fact we are playing Manchester United in my first game for West Ham, but I can just say it’s luck!” said Hernandez speaking on whufc.com. “I’m very lucky to be going back to my old club, to my old home, my old house, to start my new chapter in this second part of my English life and in the Premier League.
“It’s going to be something happy, one very important and very lucky moment. We want to go there, try to play, and move forward.
“I’m feeling in the same way I did in my first day in England, the same way I go to play with the national team I’ve been playing in for seven or eight years, because I love this game.
“I love to do what I do and of course we have a good salary as well, we live in good cities, I have had good experiences and met good people, I’m just living my dream and trying to improve as a player and a human being as well.
“Game by game, training by training, I’m just trying to improve and help my team-mates and then, if the results come, we’re going to be happy.”
