Is being the top scorer in the league also means you are the best? Some prefer efficiency to amount when they measure these things, and when it comes to that, no one in the Premier League is better than Javier Hernandez, leading the league in 2012-2013 in the goals-per-minute ratio, followed by Romelu Lukaku of West Brom and Manchester United teammate Robin van Persie, who is also the league’ top scorer.

What’s a better way to go? A dull 0-0 or another 1/2-0 win by Manchester United that bores the life out of neutral viewers, or an exciting 5-5 draw, that did see his team drop a three goal lead and for the first time in his life not get angry about something like that. Alex Ferguson had his farewell for the club, the league and the game, while Robin van Persie and Javier Hernandez tried to show there’s a future to be optimistic about, even without Wayne Rooney.

There’s more than just Wayne Rooney to worry about for David Moyes as he enters the biggest challenge of his career; trying to fill the huge shoes Alex Ferguson leaves at Manchester United.

With the weather getting warmer, so do the transfer rumors around Europe, and we’re once again with Juventus looking for a striker, renewing their interest in Javier Hernandez, who seems to be having highs & lows with Manchester United in terms of his scoring and his place in the lineup. This isn’t the first time that Juve have shown interest in Chicharito, but the second time around is usually more serious than the first. More
Arrogant is probably the right word for how Manchester United and Alex Ferguson treated their opponents, with Robin van Persie left on the bench and the way Alex Ferguson continues to talk to and about Rafa Benitez. Even the return of Wayne Rooney or the usual Chicharito poaching couldn’t stop his team from owing David de Gea a big thank you, denying another cup exit against Chelsea. More
Sometimes, all it needs is catching a break – a player, like Phil Jones gets injured, and Nani, almost a forgotten man this season in the Manchester United roster, suddenly seizes the chance to become a vital member of a team gunning for the treble. More
Some matches are over before they even start, and Manchester United enjoy quite a lot of these at home. There was nothing standing in its way of making it into the fifth round, as Ryan Giggs scored before all the fans too their seats, paving the way for the Wayne Rooney and Chicharito show. More
