Man Utd boss Ferguson: No need to rest Chicharito

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson says Javier Hernandez will start today against Blackburn Rovers.

The Mexican still has his Gold Cup commitments to come, which is why Ferguson may excuse him from United's pre-season tour of North America, having initially suggested he would be on it.

"Once he plays in the Gold Cup, Javier will be given a proper rest and we will take it up from there," said Ferguson.

"His performances in training and in games suggests there's no tiredness at all but we will keep monitoring that.

"If we get the result tomorrow he will get the rest. If we don't then he will play next Sunday."
