New United signing Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez was delighted to score in his first appearance in a red shirt against MLS All-Stars in Houston.

The 22-year-old striker came off the bench to score the fifth goal in a 5-2 victory at Houston's Reliant Stadium.

"I'm very happy, I enjoyed it," he said after the game. "It was a nice goal, from a nice pass by Darren Fletcher.

"I see the keeper and I shoot," he added of his goal-getting instincts."

His first outing for United, and his first goal, made Chicharito realise that he is now finally a United player - something he is very proud of.

"I was waiting and working for this day through the holidays," he said. "I'm living a dream, I feel good and I'm going to work hard.

"I want to thank Sir Alex for looking at me, to all these people [in Houston] for a fantastic reception."
