Solskjaer: Chicharito can be new Man Utd Champions League hero

Manchester United legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says Javier Hernandez can be their new Champions League hero on Saturday.

Solskjaer's stoppage-time winner broke Bayern Munich hearts and the Norwegian, now 38, says Hernandez can be the new hero at Wembley on Saturday.

"Javier will not be scared of Barcelona," he said. "He could be the difference in the game. His movement is fantastic, as is his awareness, and his hunger for goals is extraordinary.

"He is a great professional and he smiles every time he scores because he feels like he deserves it."

Solskjaer believes the Fergie factor will also count in the end. He said: "Alex is an inspiration and the best psychologist there is. He'll relish the challenge. If the players have the right attitude they have a great chance."
