At the double: Hernandez scored twice in United's win [LNB]Manchester United's two-goal hero Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez willsuffer from the cut-throat nature of Old Trafford life when he is axedfor Tuesday's Premier League clash at Chelsea. [LNB]Hernandez sent United four points clear in the Premier League byscoring the first two goals in a 4-0 victory at Wigan. [LNB]They took his league tally for the season to nine goals from eightstarts but that is no guarantee of keeping his place at StamfordBridge, where Sir Alex Ferguson is likely to restore the WayneRooney-Dimitar Berbatov partnership or even play Rooney up front on hisown. [LNB]Berbatov knows what it is like after being dropped against Arsenalearlier this season on the back of a record-breaking five-goal haulagainst Blackburn. [LNB]But Ferguson was full of praise for Hernandez, saying: 'He is a verygood finisher. You hope when he gets the chances, he puts them awaybecause his percentage is very high.'

[LNB]Hernandez has scored once every 94 minutes played in the league, too, which is the best strike rate at United.[LNB] 'Whenever I receive the ball I only think about trying to score,' he said. 'I will work hard even if I only get a minute on the pitch.'
