Sir Alex Ferguson has heaped praise on Javier Hernandez and Wayne Rooney after seeing both of them combine to devastating effect as United knocked Marseille out of the competition.
Two predatory goals from Javier Hernandez sealed the win against Marseille as Manchester United booked a spot in the quarter finals. While 'Chicharito' took all the plaudits for scoring two important goals, Wayne Rooney was lethal all night long and was subsequently voted as the man of the match.

Hernandez and Rooney have now started the last two matches and Sir Alex Ferguson believes that both of them are beginning to show their great understanding on the pitch.

"It's been developing well,'' he said. ''Where Wayne has been playing in the past couple of games he is a real threat. He has such power and speed and Hernandez is unbelievable with his movement. The boy has goals in him.''

While United did see off Marseille in the end, Sir Alex Ferguson was quick to admit that it was a costly win though.

''It was nervy because so many players came off with injuries,'' he said. ''It shifted the balance of team. I would have rather brought on Darron Gibson because the problem tonight was always going to be height and it caused us problems.''
