Vintage Hernandez

Manchester United fans, look away now.

The long-ball tactics resorted to late on in the Red Devils’ 2-1 defeat at the hands of PSV on Tuesday left supporters cursing the lack of striking options available.

That’s why they may just regret having sold Javier Hernandez who played a starring role on his Champions League debut for Bayer Leverkusen.

Hernandez, so often a bit-part player at Old Trafford, proved that his lack of playing time has done nothing to hinder his finishing ability as he slotted home Leverkusen’s third of the game.

After making an intelligent run into the box, the Mexican striker steadied himself and calmly sent the ball through the goalkeeper’s legs to make the result safe for the Bundesliga side.
