Van Persie joined an abundance of attacking talent at Old Trafford from Arsenal ahead of the new season.
With England ace Wayne Rooney also on the books, he was expected to compete with the 24-year-old Hernandez and the 22-year-old Welbeck for a starting berth.
But instead of feeling like he needed to assert his seniority, the 29-year-old Dutchman claims he is revelling in his role within United's front quartet.
"It goes both ways - I can learn from them as well," he told MUTV.
"For example, I love Chicharito's (Hernandez's) enthusiasm, I love how he plays and trains and does his work off the pitch after training.
"A couple of weeks ago he wasn't playing as much but he was in the gym every day doing extra work, and that sets a big example for everyone.
"Danny, too. He's not playing in his favourite position at the moment but we need him and he's working hard.
"When you have four strikers being so professional, it sets the tone for the others. Everyone realises we are all in it together and we all need to do our bit."
