Real Madrid legend Hugo Sanchez has attacked Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal over his treatment of Javier Hernandez.

Chicharito left United for Bayer Levekusen in a £12 million move on Monday.

Mexican icon Sanchez blasted: "Van Gaal has made a bad decision and it isn't the only one; he's done it 50,000 times. I was a coach and a coach can't behave like that against his own player. I would come out, praise him and tell him I have faith in him, but for him to fire that look at Giggs... He's a wretch.

"Chicharito can have a bad day at the office just like any other player in the world, but Van Gaal is a wretch and I hope this reverberates around England and people realise that he's a bad person because of the way he treats his players. He has to be professional. You have to treat players like human beings."
