Is he cooking some exit plan or what? Alexis Sanchez has taken his poor form for Manchester United into training with Chile on international duty, according to reports.
The 29-year-old has struggled to replicate his form at Arsenal for new club United since his swap deal with Henrikh Mkhitaryan last January.
Sanchez has only managed to score one goal this season and there are rumours that he could be on his way out of the club in the January window.
He has failed to become a regular under Mourinho and has only started five of the Red Devils’ 12 Premier League matches this term.
Reports in Chilean newspaper La Tercera claim that while training with the national team, Sanchez has been ‘silent’ and acting weird despite being one of the biggest characters in the squad.

Other stars played football-tennis, after one training session ended, but Sanchez did not want to join in.
Instead, the report adds that he sat on a bench by himself for at least half an hour with Junior Fernandes the only player to go and talk to Sanchez.
It’s also claimed that within Chile’s dressing room, Sanchez is not viewed as a leader due to his quiet nature and reserved presence. Sanchez and Chile are due to face Costa Rica on Saturday before playing Honduras next Wednesday.
It is believed Sanchez’s behaviour could well be down to his current situation at Old Trafford.
The Chilean had been keen on a move to PSG in January but the Ligue 1 champions are reportedly unlikely to make a move.
