MANCHESTER, United Kingdom - Sir Alex Ferguson believes Mexican striker Javier Hernandez has provided Manchester United with the extra firepower required to win the Champions League.
Hernandez helped United into the quarterfinals of Europe's elite club competition as his double strike secured a 2-1 win over Marseille in the last-16 second-leg match at Old Trafford on Tuesday.
The 22-year-old, nicknamed Chicharito, has surprised Ferguson with the speed of his development since arriving at United as a relative unknown from Guadalajara in preseason.
