Man Utd boss Ferguson: The boy Hernandez back to his best

Sat, 10/01/2011

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson expects Javier Hernandez's goal scoring form to explode.

Ferguson is spoilt for choice in attack, he believes Hernandez is bound to increase his tally in the near future.

"They're an immense goal threat," he said of Wayne Rooney and Hernandez. "The boy Hernandez is coming back and he's only scored two goals so far so I expect him to score 25 goals or more."

The manager admits that Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole are always going to be a tough act to follow in terms of strike partnerships at Old Trafford.

"Yorke and Cole got 52 goals between them and it was Yorkie's first season," he recalled. "I think Yorkie was probably one of the best strikers in Europe during that first season here.

"It was amazing. He and Andy hit it off immediately. I'd like to hope Rooney and Hernandez can outscore them but you never know as it's a tough league."
