Javier Hernandez has a "gift" when it comes to scoring goals, according to Manchester United teammate Michael Carrick.

Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick has praised teammate Javier Hernandez's ability in front of goal.

The Mexican international made a scoring return to the United starting lineup following a spell on the sidelines with concussion, netting twice as United defeated Bolton Wanderers 5-0 at the Reebok Stadium.

"Chicharito [Hernandez] has come back into the team and just taken off from last season exactly where he left off," said Carrick.

"His movement in the box, his awareness of positioning is incredible, it’s a gift, it’s one of those things he has and obviously Wayne’s [Rooney] flying at the moment, hopefully that continues and I’m sure it will."

Hernandez, 23, scored 13 Premier League goals for United last season.
