Manchester United FC v SC Braga - UEFA Champions League
Chicharito fell out with Louis Van Gaal and David Moyes

Chicharito arrived at United from Guadalajara in 2010 and became an instant fan-favourite following a 20-goal haul in all competitions in his debut season. However, after six years with the club, he was sold to Bayer Leverkusen after falling out with David Moyes and Louis Van Gaal.

Remember, we are talking about a player who notched one of the best minutes-to-goals ratios in the Premier League. That is down to the club's decision to use him more as a substitute after Robin van Persie's arrival. The Mexican, however, neither complained nor disappointed, scoring quite a few crucial match-winning goals coming on from the bench. That hat-trick against Aston Villa is a testament to his claim as a super sub and a worthy successor to Ole Gunnar Solksjaer at Old Trafford.

The interesting thing is, it is Jose Mourinho who regrets his sale, albeit he didn't have the chance to manage him. And you can't blame him, can you? Chicharito scored 39 goals in 76 appearances for Leverkusen, becoming exactly the kind of goal-poacher United needed during their dark period.

He may be playing for West Ham at present, but Chicharito certainly deserves better, don't you think?
