Javier Hernandez backs Manchester United team-mat David De Gea to conquer world

David De Gea: 'The complete goalkeeper', according to Hernandez
David De Gea will be the world's best goalkeeper in two years, according to Javier Hernandez.

Manchester United's £18.9m Spaniard - forced to share duties with Anders Lindegaard during his first season at the club - has been accused of weakness in dealing with high balls since he arrived in the summer of 2011.
But De Gea has made the No 1 shirt his own this term, and an eye-catching performance at Real Madrid in midweek brought praise from his critics and Sir Alex Fergusonalike.
Now Hernandez has given the boldest assessment yet of his 22-year-old team-mate's potential.
He said: "David is doing brilliant and in a couple of years he will be the No 1 in the world.
"A lot of people who know about football know that David is a top-class goalkeeper. That is why Manchester United bought him.
"They saw how good he can be. If he wasn't at the right level to play at this club he wouldn't be here and they are trying to look after him.
"To me, he is a complete goalkeeper. You see the great saves he made on Wednesday. He can also play with his feet, which is very useful to see in a goalkeeper.
"David is very focused and doesn't care about what people say about him. He has a lot of confidence. He doesn't need to listen to what people say about him."
