Manchester United will not be able to recall Alexis Sanchez from Inter Milan to reinforce their attacking options after Marcus Rashford was ruled out for three months.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be 'seriously regretting' his failure to replace Romelu Lukaku last summer now that Marcus Rashford is injured, according to Paul Ince.

A shock transfer to struggling West Ham, and a return to London two-and-a-half years on from leaving Arsenal, may be the lifeline Sanchez needs to salvage his career.

The Chilean is currently on loan at Inter Milan but has failed to make an impression and United are keen to offload Sanchez. Ince wouldn't be surprised if Sanchez turned things around at Old Trafford.
