Hernandez: What Van Gaal Told Me

Louis van Gaal is coming under increasing pressure at Manchester United with the Dutchman’s decisions on transfers receiving particular scrutiny.

Bayer Leverkusen striker Javier Hernandez has revealed a conversation that led to his departure from Manchester United in the summer.

The 27 year old striker seems rejuvenated in Germany having already scored 19 goals for club and country this season.

Mata told the club’s official website in his blog: “In these moments is when we have to stick together more than ever, I do believe it, because – luckily – football gives you another game every few days”.

Hernandez’s goal output in league play represents the solution to Manchester United’s current goal-scoring woes that got away. The catalog of injuries he suffered during his Arsenal days have seemingly caught up with the 32-year-old enough to bring him within sight of a comparatively early end to his career, and it should be little surprise.

However, Hernandez still treasures the time he spent at United and lauded legendary manager Alex Ferguson for helping mold him into the player he is today.

A frightful week for United could see Van Gaal’s side score plenty of goals against Norwich City on the weekend.

Speaking about his move to Real Madrid, he said: “I didn’t have the intention to leave but I wanted to more playing time”.

Rooney has scored seven goals this season, but has only found the back of the net twice in the Premier League. I had an incredible start, full of opportunities, although those opportunities dwindled over time and things took a turn for the worse.

“I’m so grateful to Ferguson”, he said.

Manchester United fans have prepared a flying banner calling for Louis Van Gaal to be sacked after their humiliating defeat against the newly promoted Bournemouth side last week.
