5 things we learned from Manchester United's pre-season

#2 Alexis Sanchez needs to come good this season

Alexis did not have the best of starts at Man United

The January star signing from Arsenal had a tough time integrating with the squad and the new style of play last term. The Chilean came with huge expectations, but could not live up to the lofty standards that he had set himself up for.

With Chile not playing in the World Cup this year, Sanchez has had a full pre season under his belt. He showed glimpses of his quality - scoring twice and assisting once, the new season will be his ultimate test.

United have relied upon his attacking instincts in the absence of Lukaku, and it would not be wrong to say that he would be the main man to look up to for goals going into the new campaign.

Sanchez has played as a striker thus far in pre-season, and that is the position in which he gave his best attacking performance ever in the EPL for Arsenal. Man United fans will be hoping he recaptures that form this season.
