A lot was expected from the ex-Barcelona forward when he joined the Red Devils last winter but Sanchez has failed to meet up with the expectations that accompanied his transfer, with his career moving on a downward trajectory ever since he switched to Old Trafford.
While many were pointing fingers at Jose Mourinho's defensive tactics as the reason for Sanchez's struggles earlier on, the attacker has also failed to make a strong statement for himself under Ole Gunnar Solksjaer.
In fact, with the likes of Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard and Anthony Martial all firing on all cylinders at the moment, Sanchez could be forced out of Old Trafford anytime soon if he fails to turn the tables.
