Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson was pleased with Javier Hernandez's cameo for their 0-0 draw with Sunderland.

United's increased attacking prowess followed the half-time introduction of Dimitar Berbatov, but although the Bulgarian went closest to scoring for the Reds with a shot that whistled past the post, it was the second sub - Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez - who really caught the manager's eye.

"I think we had more penetration, particularly when Chicharito came on," said Sir Alex. "He was bright, quick and penetrative. We tried to win the game that way and put on the players that could win the game for us.
