Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez says he's happy to compete for a place in David Moyes' starting line-up.

Chicharito insists he's prepared to battle Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie for a start.

"Of course! What better way to compete anywhere in the world than to compete with them?" he told Telemundo.

"The competition inside the team has always been really healthy and I think that helps the team a lot, because there are so many quality players that every one of them wants to earn a starting spot. The practices and matches coming up will force us to step up and help the team grow both at an individual and collective level."
