I'd imagine the astronomical wage he receives each week helps dampen those thoughts at night. He knows he will never earn as much in his career ever again and if I was him I'd be in no rush to move on.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Ole I don't think plays Sanchez anywhere near enough given he's been ready since West Ham. He just doesn't like him it seems.
Let’s hope he doesn’t think like balaks off the internet and is in a massive rush to move on eh.
God help him if he thinks like balaks off the internet.
Yeah, I think by now it's obvious that Ole doesn't rely on him and wants to move him on in Summer. Problem is, with that huge wage who will take him on? Best case scenario is we do like we did with Rooney where we pay 50% of the wages to take him off the books.
For what it's worth - I'd play him every week over Lingard and Martial at present. At least Sanchez shows some desire.
What a signing he was 
don't think there are many other transfers that turned out that bad.
don't think there are many other transfers that turned out that bad.Oh 100%. Sanchez off form is better than both. I'd imagine he's hungry to play right now and has a point to prove, but he's never given the chance to actually be put on and show it.
He probably thinks it's a shit state of affairs and wants out himself. Can't blame him.
What is his moustache all about? Also someone told me he seems chubby when he came on yesterday's game, is that true?
So indicative of our lack of quality scouting over the last ten years. Even Casual fans could see the huge risk of this transfer so why couldn’t goddamn people who are payed handsomely not spot it?! He’s been our worst signing ever and was on the wane for the last two years with serious rumours about his personality being toxic. Did we learn nothing about mega deals for ageing players from the Rooney debacle? We should have been in for Alexis when he was leaving Barca only. That’s the only way you get value out of those wages. My god this club would drive you crazy! Loads of money and bluster, terrible waste, shocking execution and decisions. On money spent we should have a pretty sexy team by now but we are pretty shit from top to bottom. Sánchez gets paid more than sterling and silva combined. You can only laugh. Absolute Shambles!
The worst signing of history?
What? You can't compare Lukaku, Martial and Rashford with Sanchez. They have actually produced for us. Check out the statistics for Lukaku/Martial Vs Sanchez for us and it makes for appalling reading for the Chilean. He is miles, and I mean miles, behind. Come back when he's scored in 6/7 consecutively games as Martial did, or 6 in 3 as Lukaku did. Were comparing players we think aren't top class (,yet) but have often been important players against someone who has been totally inept.
Anything can happen in the future and I hope he regains his touch but it's looking unlikely. Also I find it amusing how HE WILL PERFORM provided .. he's in form, near the box and given plenty of opportunities. Any chance he needs to be given Messi's talent as well given were making this as easy for him as possible?

He is an infinitely better than nobody at all based on his time for us. Your opinion and reasoning clearly has diddly squad to do with his actual peformances for us and mostly to do with his Arsenal career.
He's also never looked as good for us as Lingard has for us when he's been in form. So there's that. Unless are counting the odd game. But yeah he has much more ability of course. He used to be a top player.
Exactly. As far as value we’ve got for this transfer- 0. He has no resale and no club will pay him what we do. It’s a lame duck. Basically like Rooney we will have to pay him to leave unless there’s a stupid Chinese club out there who don’t actually watch the players they sign or just read articles from 3 years ago. We should be worrying about the next match where inevitably he’ll do nothing in that either. Rotten selection of attacking “talent” whoever is spotting these players needs to be fired. martial tapering off I can take. He looked a top notch youth prospect but if he won’t get his hands dirty when the chips are down take it on the chin and move on. The scouts absolutely should have known that about him before he was signed though. How couldn’t they see Sánchez was on the way down and we’d totally struggle to get rid if he played like this?
Another well deserved weeks wages picked up last night. 400k for one touch of the ball says it all about the state of us
You can say Sanchez is many things, but he's definitely not chubby. He has a body like a chiselled statue.Fancy a swap for Eriksen? Sanchez is great I eh swear.
But what a touch!!
Well, we basically did not pay anything for him so why should there be a resale value? We paid the Arse 25m to use him 6 months early. So him having no resale value was a given to begin with since we put that money on his salary instead. Under a one year longer contract he would have been 75m or so and still would not have had any resale value because of his age.
The Sanchez deal is cried over too much for being expensive, when what we did was just to pay the player instead of his club because he had run down his contract. The problem is that he has not performed as expected.
Get rid! Hasn’t been good enough. I was excited when we signed him but realised his past his best, 18 months too long.

He's become, to mix metaphors, the White Elephant in the room. Good for nothing himself but we can't move him on and any decent player we want to sign will benchmark their salary against him.
If he's fit, I'd play him in the last three games, for no more scientific reasons than :
1. He's not Lingard.
2. I'm weary of watching the 'efforts' of Lukaku, Rashford, Martial.
3. Maybe there's still a player in there we can use or at least move on.
If not, I fear we have three more years of him keeping Phil Jones company in the treatment room. Or perhaps he could be made to follow Woodward around all day repeating the mantra 'Remember Caesar, thou art mortal'.

Hmm... as tempting as that is I'd have to say, reluctantly, no.
Your loss
We managed to offload Felliani there for £10M, so we can only hope!!
It concerns me how he still not starting despite other attackers has been putting rubbish performance for weeks . Ole is making no sense
He's as rubbish as them tbf.
Considering we have him, and he's been injured a few times, and he will always take gametime to get his sharpness, surely we should be playing him a little more than we are?
I was deeply concerned when United signed him. He is small in stature, relying on ferocious appetite and physicality. Rooney was the same (and I know there were also other fitness issues, but it stands) - it's very hard for smaller players to keep that ferocious dynamism into their late 20s. No, Messi isn't a fair comparison, he is different. Sanchez had spent 18 months at Arsenal looking increasingly frustrated with others while actually not producing as much himself.
However, surely we should be seeing him on the pitch more than this, given that other players haven't been performing.

Has to be given a chance to start as a striker against Chelsea, what's the alternative, a bang average Lingard, way out of form Rashford, Martial maybe but has also really gone off the boil, Lukaku...no thanks.
It wont happen though, it will be the same old same old producing yet another winless match.

Sanchez’ reputation has gone through the roof because he’s missed out on all the recent crap. Watch him remind us how crap he has become when he gets his chance tomorrow.
He's not starting because it costs us an extra 75k everytime he does. That's the only reason I can think of because as crap as Sanchez is there's no way you're telling me he's as bad as Lingard has been for the past 2 months
Yet he was when he was starting...
That is an absolutely insane thing to have written into a player's contract. There should be performance incentives, for Sanchez every time he starts he has already been rewarded more money than most people earn in 3 years, doesn't matter if he gets a goal or an assist, nothing.
Man Utd 1:1 Chelsea
He’s finished as a top level player. Shouldn’t play for us again.
Two non existent substitute appearances now. Can’t see any big team wanting him. China/MLS/South America awaits.

Never play him again, sit down and work out terms of how he leaves.
Take the No 7 shirt off him and send him home. Either he wants his career to end sitting on the sofa all day, or he will take a pay cut and get lost.
Why sanchez ahead of Martial? Atleast Tony could have stretch them on left ?
A cheque for £475,000 waiting for him at Carrington tomorrow morning for that.
Simpson's character Sanchez was desired by many in the match-day thread to start the game. Oh how we laughed.
He was on the pitch for about 4 minutes you lunatics
This what separates him for the best. He can't adapt to the fact that his body has changed at all, instructed to play as a forward and yet he wants to run all over the place
