Another Chicharito goal puts Man Utd’s record into context

How Manchester United could do with Javier Hernandez this season.

Their strikers have been notably blunt in front of goal, with Wayne Rooney and Anthony Martial scoring just one apiece since the start of October.

But in the meantime Chicharito, on loan at Bayer Leverkusen, has been thriving.

The Mexican forward scored his 17th goal in 14 games for the Bundesliga club to hand them a 1-0 win at FC Ingolstadt 04.

To put that into context, Manchester United as a whole have scored just 14 in their last 14.

Were they wrong to let him go so easily?
