Alexis Sanchez is in shocking form for Manchester United. His latest performances have drawn criticism from pundits and fans alike. He has failed to score for the Red Devils in six months, a run stretching 831 Premier League minutes and another dour display from Sanchez has heaped the pressure on the Chilean.
Whilst his quality apparent, it seems somewhat of a mystery that Sanchez has failed to perform for UNited. He had the summer off after his country failed to qualify for the World Cup and really has no excuses after a full pre-season.
United’s front line just haven’t clicked so far this season with Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Romelu Lukaku all looking disjointed around the dynamic winger. Ray Parlour on TalkSPORT was still complimentary of the player despite his poor form:
“He can turn a game on his own, that’s how good he is, but it’s how you get the best out of him.
“I’m not blaming Jose, but when you look at it, Sanchez and Lukaku can be an unbelievable partnership on paper, but it’s just about getting them performing together.
Alexis Sanchez, according to the Telegraph is earning £32.2m a year which after tax works out at £318,205 a week. That means that since his last goal for the club, on March 31st Alexis Sanchez has taken home a whopping £8,046,039. Eight million pounds for a player who has contributed nothing to the side!
Manchester United thought they were getting a bargain with Sanchez, how times have changed!
