Alex Ferguson Facing Striker Decision

Alex Ferguson has admitted that he would find it difficult to drop Javier Hernandez due to his current run of excellent form.

With Wayne Rooney once again struggling for fitness Hernandez has shone, netting an outstanding goal in Manchester United's 2-1 win over Stoke last night.

Rooney is trying to overcome an ankle injury and could be sidelined for United' clash with Liverpool at the weekend.

The win, which also saw Nani on the scoresheet, sees United open up a three point gap at the top of the Premier League.

And Ferguson admits that he will have some decision's to make should Rooney find his fitness.

Speaking to The Sun he said: "Of course it will be hard to leave Chico out - that's the kind of problem you want.
          
"Over the years the strikers I've had have always given me that problem. If Chico keeps sticking the ball in the net it does give me a problem."

United are currently on forty four points but could be pegged back tonight if Manchester City win away at Arsenal.
