Man Utd boss Ferguson: I should've played Chicharito from start

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson was delighted with Javier Hernandez after he struck the equaliser in last night's 3-3 draw at Chelsea.

Ferguson heralded the impact made by substitute 'Chicharito' Hernandez, who popped up to net United's equaliser from "a great cross by Ryan Giggs."

"To be honest, I maybe should have played Chicharito from the start," admitted Sir Alex. "When he came on, he just had them on toast really. He really put them under pressure with his movement and positional play. Danny Welbeck has been terrific and he's going to be a top player. But when Chicharito came on in the second half, it was a different game."
