Owen issues consistency warning to Hernandez

MICHAEL OWEN has warned Manchester United’s new fans’ hero Javier Hernandez that he cannot afford to rest on his laurels.

The 22-year-old Mexican has shouldered the goalscoring responsibility in the last two games to give United supporters something to cheer about after the trauma of last week’s Wayne Rooney saga.

Hernandez scored twice at Stoke on Sunday and was hailed by United boss Alex Ferguson after hitting an excellent winner in Tuesday night’s 3-2 Carling Cup win over Wolves.
