The 22-year-old Mexican has scored 20 goals in his first season at Old Trafford since making a bargain six million pound move from the Mexican club Chivas de Guadalajara, and could start alongside Wayne Rooney at Wembley.
"He has been exceptional for a young player in his first season. He has shown great maturity and, if he plays, I expect him to handle it as professionally as he has done in all the other big games he has played in," the BBC quoted Ferdinand, as saying.
He added: "Chicarito has been a surprise package to most people, but he is extremely dedicated. I don't think anyone expected him to do as well as he has, but he has hit the ground running and been a real threat for us this season."
Ferdinand further said: "To score 20 goals in your first season as a young player in a new country is phenomenal but he deserves his success for the hard work he puts in on the training ground and with his dedication to the game."
Hernandez has also come in for praise from manager Alex Ferguson.
The man losing out, however, is Michael Owen, who has realised that Ferguson is spoiled for choices in selecting the side that will eventually do duty on May 28.
