Javier Hernandez
Getting Manchester United’s Champions League campaign up and running last night, Javier Hernandez took a magnificent cross from fellow substitute Federico Macheda and put the ball behind the Valencia goalkeeper with just five minutes remaining on the clock. With Rio Ferdinand resuming his partnership with Nemanja Vidic, the desperate Valencia players found themselves unable to draw level as the game went into the final minutes.

Sir Alex Ferguson has left Wayne Rooney, who has scored just once in the league this campaign, out for the Champions League game against Valencia on Wednesday.

Manchester United goalkeeper Tomasz Kuszczak is set for his second match of the campaign in the Carling Cup Third Round encounter with Football League Championship outfit Scunthorpe United at Glanford Park on Wednesday. The Poland international has no doubt endured a long spell in the wilderness after making his Premier League debut for Manchester United in a narrow 1–0 defeat against Arsenal at Old Trafford in September 2006.
