“I moved to Bayer, I have been confident since the first day and I feel more important here, not only for the goals but in all the games I watch I see myself in the line-up”, said Hernandez.

Hernandez left Manchester United after five seasons when Bayer Leverkusen offered the Red Devils around £12 million ($18.3 million) and him regular playing time. Signed by Alex Ferguson in 2010, the poacher banged in 20 goals in his first season but saw his opportunities decrease under David Moyes and Van Gaal.
He is reported to have told Spanish television: “I had a great time there”.
“I wasn’t actually surprised as it may have been Manchester United football club but it wasn’t a “Manchester United team”, Shearer said. “I think he is the best manager in history for how he managed the squad.”, he said. He had a place for everyone.
There is likely to be a full-on mutiny at Old Trafford on Saturday if Van Gaal’s side can not beat another newly-promoted side, Norwich, who have won just one of their last 11 games.
The Sun state that Louis Van Gaal is losing the support of his dressing room as criticisms regarding the Dutch coach’s tactics continue to rise. Nonetheless, he fondly remembers his time in England.
While United were being dumped out of the Champions League and then losing to Bournemouth, Hernandez was busy scoring against Barcelona and then netting a hat-trick in the Bundesliga. This follows the revelation earlier in the season that Wayne Rooney and Michael Carrick had told Van Gaal that they were concerned over the “flat” mood around the training ground.
The striker’s fortunes were in sharp contrast to that of Manchester United, as the club was ousted from the Champions League following their defeat at the hands of Wolfsburg.
