Huge rest ahead for Hernandez

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson intends to give Javier Hernandez a proper rest this summer after the Mexican's incredible efforts for the club this season.

Hernandez is once again expected to lead the United attack at Blackburn on Saturday, when a single point will be enough for the Red Devils to claim a record 19th league title with a game to spare.

The 22-year-old has been a major influence over the past couple of months and took his tally to 20 for the season with his 36-second opener against Chelsea last week.

However, by the time Hernandez has fulfilled his commitments for United and then appeared for his country at the Gold Cup in June, Ferguson accepts his striker will need a break.

So, rather than pushing him straight on a pre-season tour of the United States, as he had planned, it seems Hernandez can expect to be excused from duty.

"Once he plays in the Gold Cup, Javier will be given a proper rest and we will take it up from there," said Ferguson.

"His performances in training and in games suggests there is no tiredness at all, but we will keep monitoring that.

"If we get the result on Saturday he will get the rest. If we don't then he will play next Sunday."
