Man Utd defender Ferdinand: Chicharito lives for goals

Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand says Javier Hernandez lives for goals.

Chicharito was United's matchwinner at Champions League opponents Valencia on Wednesday night.

Ferdinand said: "Hernandez loves scoring. He lives for goals.

"You could say that about all our ­forwards. We are lucky. Look at our bench in Valencia.

"We have Michael Owen, one of the best goalscorers England has seen. Kiko (Macheda), who is hungry, and Chico (Hernandez), who has proved his worth.

"You are talking about three guys who are champing at the bit to get on the pitch.

"The manager is lucky to have that option.

"We are in the position we wanted to be. Getting the three points in Valencia is massive. Not many teams will come here and get three points."
