Don’t try to take the Pea out of Fergie

STAYING PUT ... Javier Hernandez is set to remain at Old Trafford
ALEX FERGUSON insists he has no interest in selling Javier Hernandez.
The Manchester United striker, known as Little Pea, has scored 16 times this season — but still cannot get a starting spot for the big games.
He was not involved in either leg of the Champions League defeat to Real Madrid.
And with Robin van Persie now installed as Old Trafford’s leading marksman, it is difficult to see the situation getting any better for Hernandez.
It is little wonder that the Mexican has been linked with a move away from United, who he joined as a virtual unknown from Chivas for just £7million in 2010.
However, Ferguson has told any potential suitors not to waste their time by even making an inquiry.
The United boss said: “He’s on a long contract and we won’t be entertaining interest from anyone.
“As far as we are concerned he is a really important player.
“He does something different from the other strikers and any time he comes into a game he changes it.
“It’s not easy for me to leave him out because a 16-goal tally against the number of games he has started is a fantastic record.
“There’s no evidence that he has been annoyed or disappointed.
“But it’s difficult when you have got a player of Van Persie’s form and then you have got Danny Welbeck, Wayne Rooney and Shinji Kagawa.
“That’s been the benefit of having a strong squad — it gives us an advantage over other teams.”
