Language key for DDG - Hernandez
Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez has suggested David de Gea will find it easier to adjust once he becomes more fluent in English.[LNB] The young Spanish goalkeeper has endured a tough baptism to life with the champions with his high-profile errors in the victories over Manchester City and West Brom following his arrival from Atletico Madrid.[LNB]Filling the gloves of the legendary Edwin van der Sar was always going to be a tough task, but the 20-year-old, who is having daily language lessons, has not been short of support from all around Old Trafford.[LNB]Hernandez proved it is possible to make an immediate impact after arriving from overseas, with the Mexico international plundering 20 goals in all competitions last term.[LNB]The former Chivas forward arrived last summer with family members in support and a good grasp of his new adopted language and feels that was key to his integration.[LNB]"Moving to a new country is always difficult, but the fact my dad and my sister came to live with me was a huge help," Hernandez told The Daily Mirror. "That made things easier.[LNB]"What I miss most about Mexico isn't the food or the customs, it's my family and the way we'd all sit around chatting together.[LNB]"I spoke pretty well when I first arrived here and since then I've been improving bit by bit, understanding more and more and speaking better.[LNB]"But the truth is that knowing English was a massive help, because it meant I could communicate in the dressing room and get to know my colleagues more quickly.[LNB]"I've been treated wonderfully in Manchester and I simply need to repay that faith. I had a very good first season and I hope to be able to contribute much more.[LNB]"I think there are good times ahead with this team and I'm very excited about the opportunities ahead in the coming season."
