London, May 25 ANI: Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson believes that Mexican striker Javier Hernandez could be the key to victory over Barcelona in Saturday's Champions League final at Wembley. Hernandez has certainly popped to the top with Manchester United scoring 20 goals in his debut season. "Hernandez has been the sensation of the season. We've used him the right way, I feel, and at the right times. He went from being a sub or being left out for some games to eventually being a regular player," The Sun quoted Ferguson, as saying. "Javier has scored 20 goals this season which is a great return for him considering it's his first season and shows the progress he's made. He's developed his strength through his own volition to make sure he was in every morning doing his core work," he said. "That has brought great rewards in terms of his upper body strength. It helps him handle the rigours of the English Premier League," Ferguson added. Hernandez, who was bought for six million pounds from Mexican club Chivas, has built up an incredible on-pitch understanding with Wayne Rooney, which could cause problems for Barcelona. "It's about finding a solution to the game. It's not just about Barcelona, it's about us too - what's best for us and the best way of winning the match. It will be down to how we operate the attacking part," Ferguson said. Ferguson also warned that his players' concentration must not slip, as he believes it did in the final between the two teams in 2009 which Barcelona won 2-0 in Rome.
