Jose Mourinho has spoken once again of his regret at Manchester United's decision to sell Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez in August 2015 by claiming that the Mexico forward would have scored at least 20 goals for the club this season.

Hernandez, 28, was sold to Bayer Leverkusen for just £7.3 million by former United manager Louis van Gaal after failing to impress the Dutchman during his first season in charge at Old Trafford.

Mourinho admitted last month that he would never have sold the likes of Chicharito, Danny Welbeck and Angel di Maria -- all dispensed with by Van Gaal -- had he been in charge of United at the time.
