Sir Alex Ferguson has admitted Javier Hernandez's rapid transition to English football has taken him by surprise.

Hernandez's 19th goal of the season provided Manchester United with an 84th-minute winner against Everton at Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon that puts them within touching distance of a record 19th league title.

The Mexican has already established himself as a regular member of Ferguson's first-choice starting line-up, and the Scot said: "Javier has done better than everyone expected. We thought that because it was his first year, he would just get used to the English game and get strengthened up. He has passed all those tests."

He added: "He is first in, at 9am every morning. He is last to leave. He is a truly dedicated boy."

Hernandez certainly has the priceless knack of scoring goals.

He has scored in six of United's last 12 games and in 16 matches overall this season, compared with Dimitar Berbatov, whose 22 have come in just 10 games.

The contribution pushed the Red Devils a bit closer to their Holy Grail as he headed home Antonio Valencia's cross to leave United seven points from the championship at the start of a fortnight that also includes a Champions League semi-final with Schalke and back-to-back Premier League encounters with Arsenal and Chelsea.

"The thing that puzzles me is they (the media) keep saying Arsenal and Chelsea have got to play us still, like we're going to lose them," added Ferguson. "Why shouldn't we win those games?

"As I said to the players, forget all that nonsense. Just try to win your games and you'll be all right, keep your heads and don't get carried away.

"Fixtures are running out for our rivals and the squad are up for it."

If we play like this, we have no chance against Manchester United' - Schalke coach Ralf Rangnick blasts his team after defeat by Kaiserslautern
German side warm up for Champions League semi-final clash with setback in the Bundesliga and coach admits his team selection for Tuesday's European tie is up in the air

Schalke coach Ralf Rangnick was pleased with his team's performance in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Kaiserslautern, but warned that his team will have to improve in order to earn a positive result in Tuesday's Champions League clash with Manchester United.

"If you consider the entire 90 minutes, we had the better chances," he said according to the official Schalke website. "In comparison to Kaiserslautern, we did not take our chances. For example, just before Srdjan Lakic's goal, Julian Draxler shot wide. In the second half, we had more opportunities still, but unfortunately no success."

Rangnick used an experimental line-up that included five changes to his previous starting XI. When asked about his tactical approach for Tuesday's match, the trainer remained coy.

"I have not yet decided the team for the Champions League game against Manchester [United]," he told Eurosport.

The coach was not fully satisfied with the events of Saturday's match, however, and issued a warning to his team.

"If we play like we did here today, we have no chance to win the game on Tuesday."

Kada se on povuce iz fudbala biti ce to najveca vijest te sezone nego bilo koji transfer. Tesko zamislit United bez njega!

Ja jos nemogu da zamislim MUFC bez SAF-a,on je uzeo sve sto je mogao,ali mislim ako ove godine osvoji EPL i CL da odlazi al nadajmo se jos koju godinu

juce citam malo njegovu biografiju, 11 Premier shipova???? evo i 12-ti koji lik i koji trener, sa Aberdeenom kup UEFA fantasticno, mnogi hvale Mourinha s pravom, al 20 i vise godina bit u vrhu,preporodit tim koji je bio dosta pao i onda ga drzat u vrhu, mislim da to i kombinacija Mourinha-Lippi ne moze, jedino sto mu preostaje je da preuzme englesku repku, mada on to nece nikad uradit, Lippi i Ferguson my men

U dosta smo komotnoj situaciji i možemo kalkulirati, bod na Emiratesu i pobjeda protiv Chelsee i prvaci smo, ali ako uzmemo bod na Emiratesu ne moramo juriti pobjedu protiv Chelsea pod svaku cijenu, onda bi nam u toj utakmici bio dosta i bod a oni bi se morali otvoriti

Tako je, a na Emiratesu igramo odlicno zadnjih nekoliko godina. Vrlo vazno je da ne izgubimo protiv Arsenala, jer to ce dat Chelseau previse nade. Siguran sam da Arsenal ne moze do titule.

Arsenal nebi osvojio da United nijednu utakmicu do kraja ne pobijedi. Luzeri ostaju luzeri.

Dobar skok , Bogme i pristojan odraz .

Gledaj publiku!

Ja nisam bio u prvi mah siguran da je bio gol, ipak se na streamingu nije vidjelo dobro, što je najgore Chicha upade pa se nije odma počeo radovati, ja samo gledam u njeg hoćel dignut ruke

Shaun Custis and the rest of the Sunday Supplement panel cannot see any more twists in the title race and believe Manchester United have already won it.

Evo sta kazu novinari i koji misle da je titula odlucena i da Arsenal ako pobjedi United za njih bi predstavljalo iznenadjenje.

Četiri kola prije kraja sezone u engleskom nogometnom prvenstvu Manchester United ima šest bodova prednosti nad prvim pratiteljem Chelseajem. Prednost je nakon 34. kola održana tijesnom 1-0 pobjedom bad Evertonom u kojoj je Javier Hernandez jedini gol na susretu zabio u 84. minuti...

- Moramo ostati smireni. Još su samo četiri utakmice do kraja i ukazuje nam se velika prilika, no moramo ostati fokusirani – upozorava menadžer Uniteda Alex Ferguson čija je momčad na pragu osvajanja rekordnog 19. ligaškog naslova, a on sam na pragu svog 12. premierligaškog trofeja.

- Da li mi moja momčad izgleda šampionski? Da. Imaju pobjednički stav i odlučnost. Pravi su karakteri i odbijaju se predati.

Sada Unitedu predstoje dva derbija. Prvog svibnja gostuju kod Arsenala, a sedam dana kasnije dočekuju Chelsea.

- Smeta me kad ljudi govore da još uvijek moramo igrati protiv Chelseaja i Arsenala kao da ćemo unaprijed izgubiti od njih. Zašto ne bismo pobijedili u tim utakmicama? Ljudi govore kao da je to nemoguće, a ja sam igračima rekao da zaborave te gluposti i da samo igraju svoju igru.

Posebno je nakon utakmice protiv Evertona Ferguson nahvalio strijelca jedinog gola Javiera Hernandeza, meksičkog napadača koji je prošlog ljeta stigao iz Gaudalajare. Bio je to njegov već 12. ovosezonski gol.

- Nismo to očekivali tako brzo. Mislili smo da će mu trebati godina dana da se propisno prilagodi, ali on se na engleski nogomet prilagodio jako brzo. Na treninzima je svaki dan u devet sati ujutro i posljednji odlazi. Momak je zaista predan poslu.

United će razmontirati Arsenal i tu će se napokon sve ove gluposti o tituli završiti, mada je davno bilo završeno...

Arsenal je ispao prije ali sada je definitivno gotovo, Wengeru hvala ti opet! Znaci plavci su jedini konkurenti kao sto sam i prije rekao dok je Chelsea bio u krizi samo onu mogu nas ugroziti. Na Emiratima titulu slavimo aBd!

Pobjedite Arsenal narednu tekmu i titula je 100% vaša....

Znaci na kraju opet bitka izmedju Uniteda i Chelsea. Ocekivano. Bice tesko na Emiratesu, jer igramo u Njemackoj u utorak, dok oni odmaraju sedmicu dana.

Istina.Pa i remi pod uslovom da se dobiju Blackburn i Blackpool garantuje titulu.
Nakon ovih dosta sretnih pobjeda protiv Boltona i Evertona,tesko da ce Fergie ispustiti naslov.Ali,nada umire zadnja.
