I was thinking about this of late - clearly a massive issue is his fitness where injuries plagued his campaign last year. He was off the boil pretty much all the time and yet I can't help but remember how great he was prior to joining us.
The mood here is pessimistic and regarding him and I can't argue against that, especially with the great talent coming through seemingly with Greenwood/Gomes. But with what Ole said in recent pressers I can't help but hope he can find some form for us and play a role in some capacity.
To avoid any disagreements over interpretation I'll just paste the full transcript of Ole's answer regarding Sanchez in a press conference I think a week or so ago:
Solskjaer said: We know what he’s capable of. We have to find a way – me with Alexis, with the team – because there’s a top, top player there. If we get him firing, he can get us 20 goals easily if he gets on a good run.
“I don’t like talking about individuals too much, but Alexis has made headlines since he has come here. He had a fantastic time at Arsenal and we want to find him scoring goals at Old Trafford again. That can give us an extra boost.
“You saw it in the Copa America. The consistency hasn’t been there because he’s had some injuries. You see quality and you just hope that he’s going to get the consistency back into his game. He’s got a good chance now.”
Provided he stays fit and gets some confidence early he could be a fantastic option down the middle. Or is it all over for him? After the Copa America hamstring injury I gave up, but Ole said it was precautionary.
