Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez insists he has nothing against Stoke City after his successful spotkick in victory over Stoke City.

Hernandez's strike was his fourth in four games against Stoke City, a fact the forward dismissed as mere 'coincidence' after the final whistle.

"I just try to do my best and help my team with goals," he shrugged. "I always say, the most important thing is the points. It doesn't matter who scores.

"Against Stoke we did a great job against a very difficult team. It was a great night for Manchester United, with City dropping points and us winning against a very difficult team.

"Will it be very significant [in the title race]? Maybe not, but it was a very good night for Manchester United fans."
