Man Utd boss Ferguson: Chicharito our Solskjaer - for the moment

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson says Javier Hernandez is his supersub for the time being.

Fergie sees Mexican striker Chicharito as an impact substitute in the mould of former United star Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

The United boss said: "Hernandez has got us seven goals but at the moment, while he's still learning our game and has that physical development to go, he's probably best as a sub at the moment.

"He brings something different when he comes on and he's like Ole in that respect.

"In a couple of years, he will develop physically, know more about our game and he'll make more starts.

"Looking at him now, I think he is better as a sub."
