Mexico legend Sanchez calls Van Gaal 'scoundrel' over Hernandez penalty reaction

The Mexico football legend has hit out at the Manchester United coach's reaction to the striker's penalty miss against Club Brugge.

He heavily criticised Louis van Gaal calling him a "scoundrel" for his reaction to Javier Hernandez missing a penalty.

Chicharito missed a penalty for his former side - falling on his backside and spooning the effort wide - in last week's Champions League win over Club Brugge.

The Dutch manager's reaction was caught on camera, with LVG giving his assistant Ryan Giggs a glare.

The speculation going around was that it would spell the end of the Mexican forward's time at Old Trafford.

That turned out to be the case as Hernandez joined Bayer Leverkusen for an undisclosed fee on the Bundesliga transfer deadline day, signing a three-year deal to end his five years at United.

Sanchez spoke to Futbol Picantein about Van Gaal's reaction:

"Van Gaal made a bad decision – and it's not one he's done for the first time, he's done it 50,000 times."

"I've coached and a coach cannot do that to their own player. I'd go out and applaud him and tell him to trust in himself. But that look he gave Giggs… What a scoundrel.

"It was a bad game for Chicharito but any player in the world can do that. Van Gaal is a scoundrel; hopefully those in England realise he is a bad person and treats his players poorly.

"He should be professional. The players deserve professional and humane treatment."
