Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez praises Ryan Giggs after the 38-year-old extends his Old Trafford contract.

Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez has praised Ryan Giggs following the Welsh midfielder's decision to extend his stay at Old Trafford.

Giggs, 38, will remain with the Red Devils until at least the end of the 2012-13 season.

"It is unbelievable news. Ryan is a great player. He is a legend here. He is a very good example for football players all over the world, not only those at this club," Hernandez told the club's official website.

"We are delighted about it. Of course you learn from him. It doesn't matter that I'm a striker and he isn't."

Hernandez will hope to be involved when United welcome Liverpool on Saturday afternoon.
