The fact that Marcus Rashford has just one goal from open play in his last 16 games shows that he does not have the potency to lead an attack, at the moment at least.

Gary Neville says Manchester United have gone backwards after selling Marouane Fellaini, Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku but urged them to 'hold their nerve' with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Daniel James has been identified as Manchester United's standout player this season by the club's former defender Rio Ferdinand.

Alexis Sanchez is set to be out until 2020 after suffering an ankle injury on international duty with Chile. The Inter Milan forward was hauled off in the 88th minute of Chile's friendly against Colombia.

Sanchez could be out of action until the New Year if he requires surgery, but United sources have confirmed there is no release clause in the deal that saw him move to Italy for the rest of the season.

Manchester United's pursuit of Mario Mandzukic looks to have been handed a major boost with the striker reportedly ready to lower his wage demands to seal a move away from Juventus. 

The Chilean has scored only five goals in 45 games since his free transfer from Arsenal in the January transfer window of the 2017/18, despite being given a salary of £400,000 a week.

Alexis Sanchez could return from injury for Inter Milan quicker than was initially anticipated. The winger,was ruled out for around three months after suffering a serious ankle injury.

Manchester United want to bring in a striker in the winter window after leaving themselves short of options up front following the exits of Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku late in the summer.

With a dismal loan spell at Inter Milan destined to come to an underwhelming end, Manchester United are facing the prospect of shelling out yet more cash on flop Alexis Sanchez.

Alexis Sanchez has had a difficult year according to his Chile boss Reinaldo Rueda. The Manchester United forward is on loan at Inter Milan where he has been in and out of the side with injuries.

Both Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil's contracts at the Emirates were set to expire in the summer of 2018 and as the days drew on, it appeared their time at the club was coming to an end.

The Gunners have sold the likes of Robin van Persie, Samir Nasri and Alexis Sanchez in recent years while Aaron Ramsey left on a free transfer last season.

Alexis Sanchez is currently on loan at Inter Milan after struggling to adapt to life at Manchester United. Sanchez's future at Old Trafford is uncertain, but he is reportedly keen on a move back to Chile.
