Javier Hernandez has sent a touching message to Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester United fans after the striker joined Bayer Leverkusen.
Chicharito, 27, signed a three-year deal with the Bundesliga club on Monday for a reported fee of £8.75 million.
His form has even earned him an England recall for this month’s worldwide fixtures – his first call-up since 2012.
His attitude and professionalism is second to none, with a smile ever-present on his baby face, and his super-sub status and likeness to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made him a firm favourite amongst supporters, where he scored 59 goals in 157 games in total and won two Premier League titles.
Van Gaal telling him to leave had an instant impact as Bayer Leverkusen came in with a bid and was nearly instantly accepted.
The Mexico global was given few opportunities this term also, with three substitute appearances, which included missing a penalty in the recent 4-0 away win over Club Brugge in the Champions League play-off round. Good luck with your new club!Peter Forrester: All the very best for your future endeavours Chicharito.
The 27-year-old earlier revealed he joined Leverkusen because he wanted to feel important and happy again, and that he is keen on achieving great things in Germany. Thank you for sharing your talents with us Manchester United fans.
