Bayer Leverkusen striker Javier Hernandez says he was not given enough chances to shine during his spells at Manchester United and Real Madrid. "If I'd had more chances at United or Real, I'd probably have been 'the star' there as well - we'll never know. Hernandez scored 59 goals in 85 starts in all competitions after joining United in 2010, but was farmed out to Spanish giants Real Madrid for the 2014-15 season by former United manager Louis van Gaal. Hernandez scored the winner in Mexico's 1-0 friendly win over Chile in the team's final warm-up game ahead of the Copa America Centenario, which starts on Friday. "I never had the chance to play 20 games in a row so people could say: 'He's a good player who should stay' or 'He can't be the star - he's not a good player.'"
