Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez has insisted that he enjoys making an assist as much as scoring a goal.
Despite struggling to break into the starting lineup this season, the Mexico international has still managed to score four goals in seven games.
Although he is recognised as a clinical goalscorer, the 25-year-old insists that he enjoys other areas of the game, such as setting up his teammates.
"I enjoy making a good pass or giving an assist," Hernandez told United's official website. "You have to enjoy those things as much as scoring goals. I never play just to score, I'm not upset if I haven't scored in a couple of games.
"I don't think, 'I have to score in the next one', because I know football can go like that sometimes. As long as the team is winning, that's the most important thing.
"It's part of our job as strikers to score goals, but I train and play the game to enjoy every pass, shot, movement, assist and goal. I try to experience all the things that football can give you in the same way."
Hernandez made the move to Old Trafford in 2010.
