Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez has moved to praise new Real Madrid coach Rafael Benitez.
Hernandez spent last season on loan at the Spanish giants and has potentially opened the door for another return to Spain next season by admitting his admiration for Real's new coach.
"Of couse it's in my head because it's my future. I do not know where I will go, United, Madrid or anywhere. I'm just enjoying my holiday for now," said Hernandez, according to Reuters.
"Ancelotti was my manager but Rafa is not. He doesn't need to speak with me because I was on loan from United. But I am very calm because thankfully the last two months for me in Real Madrid were very good and I proved a lot of things. So that gave me a lot of self-confidence and security for my future.
"I think Rafa knows me. He's a really good manager and I think he's going to do a great job in Madrid."
Hernandez bagged seven goals in 23 appearances for Madrid last season.
