Ferguson hails Hernandez-FIFA.com


Sir Alex Ferguson described new signing Javier Hernandez as "first class" after the striker scored against Manchester United as they went down to a 3-2 defeat by Chivas Guadalajara on the final game of their Americas tour.

Hernandez played the first half for his old club and the second for his new side and made an immediate impact as he netted after just eight minutes. United drew level two minutes later through another new recruit, Chris Smalling, another United new boy, but goals from Adolfo Bautista and Hector Reynoso made it 3-1 just before the hour mark. Nani pulled one back for the Premier League side in the 79th minute.

Ferguson praised the striker, known as Chicharito, saying: "Chicharito was first class. His goal for Chivas was a marvellous strike. He showed his real qualities. Chivas played very well and they were very quick. They pressed the ball well and made things difficult for us. They deserved to win. As for us, we've been away for three weeks. We've done lots of travelling and I think the players need to go home and rest now."
