Two Manchester clubs slogged it out for his signature and there was much fanfare and celebration when the Chilean was finally unveiled as a United player.

However, since arriving at Old Trafford, Sanchez has not looked anywhere near remotely special. It has been a whirlwind year for Alexis Sanchez, going from one of the best players in the league at Arsenal to a very 'expensive' laughing stock and subject of social media banter at Manchester United.

He scored just three goals in 18 matches in his first United season. The fact that he did not have a pre-season with the club and did not blend in well was given as an excuse and indeed Sanchez was one of the earliest reporters to United's pre-season ahead of this campaign, but that has not done much to improve his standing.

So far this season, Sanchez has scored just one goal in 12 appearances in all competitions for Manchester United, looking devoid of ideas in a blunt United attack, offering nothing from an offensive standpoint and found himself out of the starting lineup before injury struck.
