Owen has warning for Chicharito
Manchester United striker Michael Owen has warned Javier Hernandez not to get carried away by his impressive early form for the club.[LNB] Hernandez has shouldered the goalscoring responsibility in the last two games to give United supporters something to cheer about after the trauma of last week's Wayne Rooney saga.[LNB]Hernandez, nicknamed 'Chicharito' which means 'Little Pea', scored twice at Stoke on Sunday and was hailed by United boss Sir Alex Ferguson after hitting an excellent winner in last night's 3-2 Carling Cup win over Wolves.[LNB]However Owen, who has just suffered another injury setback with a hamstring problem that will keep him out of action for several weeks, knows it only takes one bad performance to find yourself out of the team.[LNB]He told BBC Radio Five: "It's obviously early days for him but he's made a really good impression at the club, scored goals in the last couple of games.[LNB]"He's young, sharp and a good finisher. He seems to be thriving, he's always got a smile on his face, he enjoys his football and the fans have taken to him already.[LNB]"So far so good, but, as I know, football changes in a week or whatever.[LNB]"Hopefully it's the start of something good for him, but he needs to keep working hard and keep putting in those performances because at Man United that's what it demands - you score one week, but if you play poorly the next week then you could be out the team so you need to always be on top of your game.[LNB]"Thankfully he's playing well at the minute, and long may that continue."[LNB]Ferguson signed Hernandez for £7million from Guadalajara before the World Cup - an astute move as he went on to score two goals - including a brilliant one against Argentina - and to generally impress.[LNB]He has already impressed Wolves manager Mick McCarthy, who thinks he is going to be star.[LNB]McCarthy said: "I watched him at Stoke on Sunday and forget his goals, his all-round performance was terrific.[LNB]"Sir Alex knows what he's doing and he wanted to get the winner against us so he brought him on and that's what he did."[LNB]Meanwhile, Owen insisted the Rooney saga that caused such uncertainty over the striker's future had not affected United.[LNB]He added: "Everyone seems to be happy now. The club have got a world-class player signed for five years and obviously Wayne's happy and the manager's happy.[LNB]"Wayne is obviously ambitious and the club's ambitious. He wouldn't have signed if he had any doubts.[LNB]"Cutting out all the rubbish, the main thing is that he's signed.[LNB]"It's better having Wayne Rooney in your squad than not, so we're all happy in that way."
