EX-MANCHESTER UNITED striker Javier Hernandez missed a sitter for LA Galaxy and their fans were NOT happy.
The Mexican blazed over from six yards after Boca Juniors loanee Cristian Pavon had put it on a plate for him during Galaxy’s MLS clash with Vancouver Whitecaps.

The teams were drawing 0-0 in the 84th minute when the chance presented itself.
And it did not take long for fans of the MLS club to get on the 32-year-old’s back.
Winger Pavon did well to create space on the right before whipping a perfect ball across the six yard box.
It found Hernandez, 32, at the far post and although he managed to connect with his left foot, the ball ballooned very high and very wide much to the disgust of Galaxy fans.
Replying to the footage on Twitter, Mario uploaded a picture of a clown and wrote: “Remember a year ago when everyone was hyping him up.
“This guy has not done anything at all.”
Another added: “Ffs man, Chicharito is so s***. You simply CAN’T miss those chances.”
Arsenal fan JKA tried to stand up for the ex-West Ham flop and wrote: “That is not an easy chance to finish, balls bobbling, he’s running at pace, even the best miss.”
But Mr M was having none of it and replied: “A rookie from the reserves came off the bench in the 85th minute and scored from this exact pass to win the game.”
Kai Koreniuk, 22, came on in the 87th minute before scoring the winner in the 90th.
The game finished 1-0 to Galaxy but it was not enough to lift them off bottom place in the Western Conference.
Mexican international Hernandez played for Man Utd for five years between 2010 and 2015 but he was loaned to Real Madrid for the final season – 2014-15.
He had a successful spell at Bayer Leverkusen from 2015-17 before a move to West Ham.
But he failed to recapture his Bundesliga form in East London and is not remembered fondly by Hammers fans.
The Irons managed to offload him to Sevilla last summer but after just one goal in nine LaLiga outings, Chicharito made the switch to LA on 21 January this year.
He has failed to score in eight MLS appearances since the move.
