After leaving Manchester United in the summer, Javier Hernandez is continuing to light up Germany with his excellent form at Bayer Leverkusen.
The Mexican scored last night for the fourth game in a row as his side defeated Unterhaching in the German Cup. He has now scored 18 goals for his club, and has scored 16 goals in his last 13 games in all competitions.

The 27-year-old told a Spanish TV show this week why he left Manchester United: "I spoke with Van Gaal and he said that I only had a one percent chance of playing in my position, so I headed to Bayer. I felt confident from the very first day."
"I feel important, not just because of my goals, but because I feel that I'll start every game."
With Manchester United's well publicised goal issues remaining, if the Mexican continues to regularly score in Germany, the pressure will increase on Louis van Gaal.
