Former Manchester United star Javier Hernandez has heaped praise on his former boss Sir Alex Ferguson, saying that playing under him is one of the biggest achievements of his playing career.

Hernandez was signed by Ferguson in 2010 and the forward went on to win two league titles under the Scottish manager while he was at Old Trafford.




Last season, Manchester United hired Louis van Gaal to take the helm and the forward was swiftly moved to Real Madrid on a loan spell. At the Spanish outfit, the Mexico international played under acclaimed Italian Carlo Ancelotti during his sole season at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Hernandez has heaped praise on the Italian, terming him a gentleman and equated him to Ferguson.
 


"He's a gentleman, cut from the same cloth as Ferguson”, he was quoted as saying by Marca.

“They have character.”

The 27-year-old further added that playing for Ferguson for three years is one of the highlights of his playing career.

“Playing under him [Ferguson] for three years is one of my biggest achievements."

Hernandez is currently plying his trade for Bayer Leverkusen of the Bundesliga, having moved to the German club earlier this summer.
