#2 Alexis Sanchez

The second worst signing of the season is Alexis Sanchez. To say the least, Sanchez has been a pale shadow of the player we saw at Arsenal. Few feuds and the aim to win trophies instigated the winger's switch to Manchester United, which saw Henrikh Mkhitaryan go the other way. However, he has failed to hit the ground running.

More so, neither has Sanchez showcased his dribbling skills nor has he popped up in key areas for his side. No other winger in the team has been dispossessed at the rate he has. To add to his misery, the 30-year-old has only completed 73% of his attempted passes.

Further, injuries and poor work rate saw him pushed down the pecking order. At the moment, with Rashford, Martial, Lingard and Mata all responding to the new manager's demands, it is safe to say that not many Manchester United supporters are missing their marquee winter signing.
