Gym work paying off for Hernandez

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."
