Manchester United: 5 issues for Jose Mourinho to address before the start of next season

#2 Integrate Alexis Sanchez into the team

Alexis Sanchez is struggling to find form at Manchester United

If Jose Mourinho had known that signing Alexis Sanchez would spoil the on-field chemistry of his squad, he would rather not have bought him. Sanchez arrived at Manchester United amid much fanfare and became the best paid player in the league. His whopping weekly wage was criticized by pundits all over the world as being too high.

Ever since Sanchez arrived, Pogba has looked like a different player. He looks like he has lost that swagger about being the most talented player in the squad and has rarely started of late.

Both Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford have been relegated to the bench, with Sanchez starting on the left side of attack. Mourinho has tried a number of formations trying to bring the best out of Sanchez, with a 4-2-2-2 being deployed against Chelsea in the league.

The Chilean often drops deeper in search of the ball and leaves a void in attack. Perhaps he misses being the focal point of the team, as he was playing as a striker in his final few months at Arsenal. He loses the ball frequently and has scored just once for the club in 10 appearances, that too from a rebound of a penalty that he missed.

On international duty at the moment, Sanchez expressed disappointment over his form and said that he did not feel like playing in the friendlies for Chile. The fact that he is a mid-season signing who is struggling to find his feet at the club is the only possible justification.

Hence, Mourinho needs to put his man management skills to the best use and ensure that Sanchez has a good pre-season and integrate him into the squad.
