Man Utd boss Mourinho (again) complains: Why isn't Chicharito here?!

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has again lamented the club's sale of Javier Hernandez to Bayer Leverkusen.

Mourinho has previously admitted he would never have sold Hernandez had he been in charge at the time.

And the former Chelsea boss believes the ex-Red Devil would have 20 goals for the season already under his guidance.

“We have some players that are not really players in love with the goal," he said.

“They are good players, they are creative players, they can create but, naturally, they are not the kind of guy that is a killer.

“I give a simple example. In the way we play at Old Trafford, in the way we dominate opponents, in the way we play in the box, I think Chicharito [Hernandez] would have 20 goals easy.

"Even coming from the bench for the last 10 or 20 minutes, he would have 20 goals.

"He is the guy that, naturally, the ball comes here, rebounds here, rebounds there - boom, goal."
