Man Utd boss Ferguson: Hernandez just like Giggs, Best

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has likened Javier Hernandez's emergence to Ryan Giggs and George Best.

Ferguson believes Hernandez could give Manchester United's superstar line-up a wake-up call.

Fergie said: "The great thing about football is that some wee guy turns the corner and takes someone's place, and I can see that happening with Hernandez.

"It happened with George Best, Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes who started to take Paul Ince's place. I always remember Bryan Robson saying to me 'who are all these young whipper-snappers taking my bloody position!'."
