As another shot from Javier Hernandez rippled the net during Manchester United's pre-season training last summer, Paul Scholes turned to Sir Alex Ferguson and made the most prophetic of predictions.
In just a few days, Scholes had already seen enough of Hernandez's predatory finishing to feel confident Ferguson had landed one of the bargains of the season and he tipped the Mexico striker to score 20 goals in his debut season.

Scholes' belief that Hernandez would make most the of his role as a substitute seemed wildly optimistic given that he was hardly a household name in world football when he arrived at Old Trafford from Mexican club Guadalajara.
