FORMER Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez claims he wasn't given a chance at Old Trafford.
The Mexican striker wasn't fancied by axed United boss Louis van Gaal and was offloaded to Bayer Leverkusen for a meagre £7.3m.
Prior to his permanent departure from the Premier League, Hernandez had a temporary stint at Real Madrid.
But the 28-year-old, who is now reportedly valued at £31.5m, found his game time at the Bernabeu similarly limited.
And the gifted attacker has slammed the European giants for how his treated.
He told Four Four Two magazine: “If I’d had more chances at United or Real, I’d probably have been ‘the star’ there as well – we’ll never know.
"I didn’t have the chance. I never had the chance to play 20 games in a row so people could say: ‘He’s a good player who should stay’ or ‘he can’t be the star – he’s not a good player’.
“Ask the United fans.
"The numbers are there. I started only 85 games at United and I scored 60 goals [in total]. At Real, I started just 12 games and scored nine goals.
"At Leverkusen I’ve started 37 games and I have 26 goals.
"The difference is that Leverkusen want me on the pitch. The others didn’t.”
