Manchester United boss David Moyes refused to criticise Javier Hernandez after a glaring miss in their 0-0 draw at Champions League opponents Real Sociedad.
The miss was inexplicable for a player of his undoubted class, who has scored three times in his last two games.
"The miss from Javier was an opportunity," said Moyes.
"To be fair to him the ball bobbled up. It just comes off the ground a little bit before it gets to him.
"But he gets in those positions week in, week out and that is where he gets his goals from."
