Sir Alex Ferguson admits Manchester United are doing all they can to keep Javier Hernandez ‘fresh’.
After playing for Mexico in the World Cup finals, Hernandez then linked straight up with United for a pre-season tour of USA as he got to know his new team-mates following his move from Guadalajara.
Hernandez has since hit 16 goals in his maiden Premier League campaign and is now pushing for a regular starting place.
Ferguson is delighted with his progress but admits they are keeping a close eye on him.
“Javier has had a fantastic season,” Ferguson told US-based satellite station
Sirius XM.
“We are just keeping an eye on him because he played in the World Cup last year and this is his first season in the Premier League.
“We are trying to keep him as fresh as we possibly can for the important games we have coming up.
“He is a marvellous player, he is a great trainer. He is a good type. His attitude is fantastic. He is a really outstanding boy.”
Ferguson is in the United States to help launch Manchester United’s 2011 pre-season tour, which will see them play five matches across the Atlantic in July.
