Hails Man Utd latest sensation, Speedy Hernandez @ Fastest player in Premier League!

Deep in the heart of Houston's Reliant Stadium, Javier Hernandez emerged to an explosion of flashbulbs as the assembled media surged forward to get closer to the young Mexico striker.

The man they call Chicharito was not fazed.

He moved past the cameras and microphones, stopping every few yards to speak in Spanish and then disappeared with a turn of pace and air of confidence he had displayed half an hour earlier when scoring in his first game for Manchester United.

One of the statistics in South Africa showed that Hernandez was the fastest player in the tournament. Maybe they should have called him Runner Bean instead of Little Pea.

The boy from Guadalajara certainly did not hang around when Darren Fletcher lofted a ball into space in the 84th minute of United's 5-2 win over the MLS All-Stars.

Hernandez timed his run to perfection to stay onside. He was level with the last man when Fletcher passed but was 30 yards clear when it landed. The 22-year-old showed not a hint of nerves, letting it bounce before lobbing Nick Rimando.

It remains to be seen how much Ferguson uses his new signing this season, but the United manager was left in no doubt that Hernandez's pace will prove to be a potent weapon in the Barclays Premier League in years to come.

Ferguson said: 'The one thing that defenders always worry about is players with speed, players who will get into the space behind them.

'His goal gave an indication of that speed. The timing of his run, coming towards the ball and then spinning, shows he's going to be a threat to defenders.

'How the combination with Wayne will work, I think we will need to adjust a little bit because I think they could be similar types of players.

'At the moment we will assess Hernandez and try to bring him to a consistent level of form. Once he gets used to our training I think he will be okay.'

Hernandez received the biggest cheer from the Hispanic fans in a crowd of 70,728 when he replaced Nani in the 63rd minute.

His next game will attract even more attention as United round off their tour against Chivas in Guadalajara, where he will play one half for each side.

He said: 'I'm living a dream, I feel good and I'm going to work hard.'

Sir Alex committed to build a legacy at Old Trafford that will LAST FOREVER after he step down

Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed his commitment to building a legacy at Manchester United that will last long after he has left Old Trafford.

As Fergie enters his 25th season in charge of United, the most successful manager in the history of British football admits he still has no idea himself when he will step down.

But when he does eventually retire, Fergie insisted he is determined to leave his successor a vibrant, thriving young set of players, unlike the situation he inherited back in 1986 when he had to completely rebuild an ageing, fragmented squad.

“What you have to do is maintain the success of the club and make sure that, no matter when I quit, the club is always in good hands,” said Fergie.

“I come back to the point of having young players, that there’s no need for a complete overhaul of the playing squad.

“The squad I’ve got at the moment, I’ve got probably 12 players all under 21, which is a fantastic average age and the future should be pretty secure with them.

“Whenever I do go, and I don’t see it being tomorrow, because if I have my health then I can carry on. But there will be a point obviously when I do quit, but I have absolutely no idea when that is.

“I tried that a few years ago and it was an absolute disaster - agony. My wife made me change my mind and she was dead right. I think she was soon fed up with me in the house.

“Now when the times comes I think the club should be okay.”

Fergie is desperate to avoid a repeat of the debacle that ensued when Matt Busby stepped down after 24 years at the United helm. After unparalleled success under Sir Matt, United were relegated within three years of his departure, an unthinkable scenario now, but Fergie wants to ensure there is no hint of decline when he quits.

With no intention of calling it a day, 68-year-old Fergie looks set to surpass Sir Matt Busby’s record 25-year reign at United, and repeated his mantra that he will carry on at Old Trafford as long as he is in good health.

And for a man who shows no signs of slowing down - Fergie has been using the gym regularly alongside his players during the club’s pre-season tour of the US - his rivals look to be stuck with him for several more years.

“A lot of factors come into it but the most important thing is that I’m at the right club,” said Fergie. “It’s a fantastic club which demands a challenge all the time. Every day of every year we have the challenge of being at the top. That helps me.

“The second thing that you need is good, natural energy, which I’ve been blessed with. I’m fortunate with that. The third thing is that I can keep going as long as my health keeps going, and the same applies to every person. I’m 68 and so far my health has been standing up. So these are important factors.

“I also have the opportunity of working with very good footballers, with good desire and a good purpose about themselves. We don’t build a footballer just in terms of ability, we try to build their character to make them better human beings and to understand their responsibilities.”
