6 of the most disappointing players this season

#1 Alexis Sanchez

Alexis has continued the recent tradition of number 7's flopping at Old Trafford

You know you're special when two of the all-time greatest managers at two of the biggest clubs in the world battle it out for your signature over two transfer windows right until the final day and this was the situation Sanchez found himself in as the two Manchester clubs slogged it out for his arrival and there was much fanfare and celebration when the Chilean was finally unveiled as a United player.

However, since arriving Old Trafford, Sanchez has not looked anywhere near remotely special, instead towing the path of all other players signed under Jose Mourinho - struggling for form and looking short of confidence.

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.

The 29-year-old has always been a world class player, that much has been evident right from his days at Barcelona and more pointedly Arsenal, so his struggles at United are made all the more harder to explain.

He scored just 3 goals in 18 matches in the first half season (he joined in the winter0 with United and this came in marked contrast with his ratio at Arsenal where he averaged a goal every two games.

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 Man Utd, 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.

Alexis is reportedly the highest paid player in Premier League history, earning a reported £350,000 a week and for how much the club is paying him, he is making extremely low returns and would do well to start improving upon his contributions to the club.
