Moyes and van Gaal never knew how to use him, but Chicharito was excellent under Ferguson. 33 PL goals over 3 years plus some important goals in the Champions League, despite having to fight for playing time against Rooney and Berbatov and then van Persie and Welbeck. A guy you could use in the starting lineup, but he'd also sit on the bench as a joker without throwing a tantrum. Ferguson valued him really highly.
The Real loan never made any sense, and selling him after getting rid of van Persie and Falcao was stupid too. Glad he's doing well at Leverkusen.
