Dreaming Of A Double

Chicharito admits his first season in England is panning out beyond his wildest dreams, after becoming a Premier League champion ahead of a Champions League final meeting with Barcelona.

The Mexican striker, scorer of 20 goals already this term, has established himself as one of the country's sharpest marksmen in an unforgettable debut term, and he's set on securing a dream Double with victory over Barcelona at Wembley.

When asked if he could have foreseen such an instant success, he told MUTV: "No, it's unbelievable. I never imagined. Of course I imagined winning the Premier League, but I never imagined to play a lot of games and score a lot of goals and to be a part of this great team.

"We worked hard for the season to have this, we worked together to have the trophy back. They are great celebrations. Everyone's very happy - the staff and the team-mates - but we know that in two weeks we have another important game.

"A Double: I dream about that. We're working to win that game. Right now we can celebrate and then afterwards we need to work a lot."

Chicharito also confirmed that referee Phil Dowd was right to award the penalty which sealed the title for United, and insisted that nobody clad in Red doubted Wayne Rooney's ability to despatch it.

"I felt the contact," he said. "I've not tried to be unfair or play for a penalty. Contact is there, the referee sees it was a penalty and we were very happy with that. We know Wayne Rooney loves that type of moment, the pressure, and we knew he would score."
