‘Alexis Sanchez Is Man Utd’s Equivalent To Fernando Torres At Chelsea’

According to Andrei Kanchelskis, it’s time Manchester United cut their losses with flop Alexis Sanchez.

The Chile international is currently out with a knee injury after being forced off in United’s 3-2 win over Southampton last weekend.

Caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has revived the fortunes of most United players, though Sanchez has yet to hit a truly great period of form and has been at the club over a year now.

Solskjaer may seem like a miracle worker to most of us right now, but he has been unable to rekindle Sanchez’s top form from his Arsenal days and this is the club’s highest earner we’re talking about…

A disappointing three goals in 29 Premier League appearances for the club is borderline laughable for a player that arrived with such high expectations. Sanchez is not playing at the level Solskjaer and fans alike demand of a top player.

The problem with his ridiculous wages is he’s 30 and his contract doesn’t expire until 2022.

To get rid of Sanchez this summer, United will be hoping for interest from a Chinese Super League team, or may have to sell him at a reduced price but there won’t be any club willing to meet the salary he is paid by United.

Former United winger Kanchelskis believes Sanchez is on the verge of becoming the Reds’ equivalent to Fernando Torres at Chelsea.

“Sanchez is at risk of finishing his career in the same way Torres did at Chelsea,” Kanchelskis told bWIN.

“Torres was the main man at Atletico Madrid and Liverpool, but he is now remembered for the tough time he had at Chelsea. Sanchez has clearly shown that he has the capability to play with the best teams in the world, but Man United doesn’t suit his style of play and he’s never looked settled into the dressing room since joining the club.

“I’ve previously said that Ole should give him the chance to express himself as a winger, but now looking at his form and how often he’s been used, I think it’s best for Man Utd and Sanchez if he were to move on this summer.

“I can’t see him moving to another Premier League club and I think he should move back to La Liga. I see Sanchez joining a club like Atletico Madrid as there are currently a lot of problems at Real Madrid and he wouldn’t go back to Barcelona. He will most likely have to take a pay cut, but it’s for the benefit of his career.”
