Hernandez the hero again

JAVIER HERNANDEZ confirmed his status as Manchester United’s new hero with a brilliant winner to take the Carling Cup holders into the last eight of the competition last night.

Hernandez came off the bench to secure victory over Wolves in the last minute of normal time and keep alive United’s quest to become the first side to win the trophy three times in-a -row.

Defender Wes Brown hailed the Mexican as a “new cult hero” after his dramatic intervention. “He’s got a great attitude to the game. He’s a player who wants to learn and score goals and is good at it,’’ Brown said.
