“We didn’t need Sanchez at all. We just panicked ourselves into buying him because City were interested.”
Some Manchester United supporters on social media are voicing their regret about the club’s decision to sign Alexis Sanchez. The Chilean joined United from Arsenal in January, as part of a swap deal which saw Henrikh Mkhitaryan move to the Emirates. United fans were very excited when Sanchez arrived, and rightly so.
The former Barcelona forward is a world-class player at the peak of his powers, and he appeared to be an ideal fit for his new club. But so far it hasn’t gone to plan. Sanchez has scored once in six games and he failed to make an impact away to Sevilla in the goalless draw on Wednesday night.
This could be down to Jose Mourinho’s limited tactics, as Sanchez is just the latest creative attacking player to underwhelm under the United manager. But it seems some fans of the club have already had enough of him.
We were playing well until we signed Sanchez.
Can we bring Mkhitaryan back,the deal was a terrible mistake.— Jefe (@Chukky15) February 21, 2018
Honestly there was no point buying Sanchez if you’re going to ruin arguably our best player of the season (Martial) and make Pogba, one of our only world class players, feel like he’s not a pivotal part of this side. Without both we are a medicore team. #mufc

We didn't need Sanchez at all. We just panicked ourselves into buying him because City were interested. Should have kept Martial on his LW and bought Mahrez instead. A specialist LW and a specialist RW. But I guess that is too much common sense for Mourinho.

Truth be told
Sanchez is the beginning & end of #MUFC problems
Since he came, he has lost Pogba&Martial
Mourinho is destroying @manutd

Isn’t it quite apparent that we only grabbed Sanchez to flex our financial muscle to the world and City especially? We didn’t need him TBH

Ngl I regret us buying Sanchez’s he’s a fantastic player but he’s fucked up the dynamic. Martial is our LM. Lingard who’s been fantastic, is now dropped and rashford can’t get a look in.

Even more importantly, Sanchez is one of the most overrated players in a decade. Arsenal easily got the better deal.
