Chicharito: Showing smartness on the pitch and off it

Javier Hernandez, on Sunday, re-tweeted (and later removed) a Carlos Vela interview in which he said that his compatriot would have to think about leaving United if first team opportunities continue to be slim. Vela claimed - and rightly so - that Hernandez is one of the best finishers in the Premier League and that a player of his quality deserves to play more games.

This in itself is hardly a revelation for United fans. The United faithful, and presumably the management as well, have long lauded Chicharito’s importance to the team and realized that his performances merit a more regular starting role. But there arises a feeling of helplessness when it comes to figuring out just how to make this possible.
