Sir Alex Ferguson has fired a warning
shot to Manchester United's title rivals, by saying that striker Javier
Hernandez will be better than ever this season.
Hernandez
had an outstanding debut campaign at Old Trafford, but struggled to
reach the same heights last year after Danny Welbeck was favoured over
the Mexican.
'For
the last four or five years he’s played all through the summer. This
year, with the co-operation of Mexico, he’s had a proper rest.
'We wanted to give him as much rest as possible. He had a couple of weeks off and then joined the Mexico side for a couple of qualifying games before getting another few weeks’ rest.
'That was important for him and I’m sure he’ll reap the benefits.
'We’ve already seen the fruits of that in the early training sessions and I think he’ll have a top season.'
The 24-year-old hitman scored 20 goals in the 2010-11 season at United, but only managed 12 in United red last term.
Firing on all cylinders: Javier Hernandez is hoping to reach a similar tally to his 20 goals in 2010-11 season
