Alexis Sanchez “can’t get any worse” for Manchester United, says Paul Scholes. The Chilean has struggled to make an impact following a January arrival from Arsenal. The Red Devils were considered to have pulled off quite a game when landing the 29-year-old forward, especially since nemesis Manchester City had also been in the game.
“I think the first few games of next season are vital to him, he needs to get fans believing again and believing they are going to get close to City. They need a big player. Do they [have big players]? Paul Pogba does not win you games on his own. [Eden] Hazard does. Alexis Sanchez doesn’t, he’s shown that since January, they thought he could, but what we’ve seen. They need two magical players. I think they’ve got really good players, they haven’t got a Hazard, [Cristiano] Ronaldo, [Lionel] Messi, and I know many teams haven’t, but the difference between the two today was the quality in Hazard, we saw that in big games.
