#2 Frustrating Manchester United players

Sanchez warming up with his new team-mates

Alexis Sanchez arrived in a swap deal as he replaced Henrikh Mkhitaryan of Manchester United. The latter joined Arsenal following the agreement. Ever since Sanchez arrived, Marcus Rashford has yet to play the full 90 minutes in a Premier League match.

The lack of game-time has already angered Rashford who believes that he can do a lot better than the Chilean. At the same time, Sanchez has done little to justify his price tag and a spot in the lineup.

There are several options for Mourinho on the left wing and some players could be leaving this summer because of Sanchez's sudden arrival in January. Instead of embracing the opportunity to work with a new team-mate, some Manchester United players are frustrated that they have lost their positions in the starting lineup.

After United's shock loss to Sevilla in the UEFA Champions League round of 16, some of his team-mates were unhappy that Sanchez had failed to make significant defensive contributions when needed. He squandered the team's chances far too frequently and was wasteful in possession.

His relationship with the Red Devils' players is seemingly not as good as people have thought it would be.
