Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson admitted that Javier Hernandez’s performance against Braga has given him a selection headache.
The Mexican striker netted twice as United came back from a two-goal deficit against the Portuguese team in their Champions League tie.
Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney appear to be Fergie’s first choice strikers in the Premier League, but the Scotsman has admitted that Hernandez’s performance may cause him to rethink his best XI:
“He (Hernandez) has got me thinking. Him, Van Persie, Rooney… I don’t know what to do with them to be honest.” He told ITV after the game.
The 24-year-old front-man was an instant success in his first season at Old Trafford, but with the summer arrival of Van Persie he has slipped down the pecking order.
Hernandez has made five Premier League appearances so far this term netting one goal, but his displays have come largely from the bench.
With United far from struggling for goals having notched 21 in the league, the highest of any team, it’s unclear as to whether the hit-man will be called upon for United’s next encounter, away at Chelsea.
