Gym work paying off for Hernandez

18 March 2011 15:30
Javier Hernandez has admitted he is being forced to hit the gym in an effort to cope with the physical demands of the Premier League. Hernandez has enjoyed a superb first season since arriving at Manchester United from Mexican outfit Chivas in the summer. But far from finding English football easy, Hernandez is doing a huge amount of work behind the scenes to ensure he is capable of meeting the challenges that lie ahead. "I have done better than I thought I would," said the 24-year-old. "But I wouldn't say it has been easier. Nothing in life is easy. Physically I have got a lot stronger. I go to the gym a lot. "It is not because I like it. It is something I needed to do because the English league is quicker and more physical."
