| Javier Hernandez has hit out at Louis van Gaal and David Moyes |
JAVIER HERNANDEZ has taken a swipe at Louis van Gaal and David Moyes over his lack of game time at Manchester United.
The striker was signed for United by Sir Alex Ferguson in 2010 for just £6million, and supporters voted him the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year after his first season at Old Trafford.
But he fell down the pecking order during his last two years with the Red Devils and joined Bayer Leverkusen in the summer.
While United, who fell to a 2-1 defeat at Bournemouth on Saturday, have struggled for goals this season, Hernandez has shone, with 15 goals in his last 12 games, including a 13-minute hat-trick against Borussia Monchengladbach at the weekend.
And the Mexican feels he could have had more game time at United if Van Gaal and Moyes learnt from Ferguson's squad rotation prowess.
“My time at Manchester United was good,” he told Movistar+.
“I had an incredible start with many opportunities, but ended badly because of a lack of opportunities, but I am totally grateful towards Ferguson.
“I think he is the best manager in history, in the way he managed his players. He gave everyone a chance and understood that a player cannot finish a season with only 15 games.
“He opened the doors to Europe for me and I also won two league titles under him."
When asked about his relationship with Van Gaal he added: "I started to have opportunities but one day I spoke with Van Gaal and I had only a one percent chance of playing so I needed to make magic. So I moved Bayer."
