Manchester United striker Robin van Persie believes that Javier Hernandez sets a good "example" for the rest of his teammates.

Manchester United striker Robin van Persie believes that teammate Javier Hernandez deserves credit for the work he puts in off the pitch.

The Mexico international, also known as Chicharito, has failed to cement a regular spot in United's lineup this season but Van Persie, who moved to Old Trafford from Arsenal in the summer, has insisted that Hernandez sets a good "example" for everyone.

"I love Chicharito's enthusiasm," Van Persie told MUTV. "I love how he plays and trains and does his work off the pitch after training.

"A couple of weeks ago he wasn't playing as much but he was in the gym every day doing extra work, and that sets a big example for everyone."

Meanwhile, United top the Premier League table and sit six points clear of rivals and title holders Manchester City.
