Arsenal v Manchester United - FA Cup Fourth Round
During his time with Arsenal, Alexis Sanchez was well known for being a threat in front of goal. The Chilean averaged a goal almost every 2 games played in the Premier League during his time at Arsenal. However, ever since joining United, the goals have dried out and one of the reasons could be his reduced efforts on goal.

In his last full season with Arsenal, he scored 24 goals from 38 appearances in the Premier League. He registered 129 shots that season, 49 of which had been on target. This season, Sanchez has recorded just 17 shots on goal, 9 of which have been on target. While his lack of chances are a main reason for his inferior attempts, Sanchez has been poor in front of goal as a whole.
In the first half of last season, before making the move to United, Sanchez was averaging 3.6 shots per game. After his move to United, it came down to 1.6 shots per game. This season, he is averaging just 1 shot per game in an average and it is this area that Alexis Sanchez needs to improve immediately.

Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
