He contributed to silverware despite his fall from grace. He also had a 20 goal season albeit with some stat padding against European fodder. Sánchez had a good 45mins against City.
This is what I mean - with even the terrible trasnfers such as Torres to Chelsea, there's at least a
sliver of positivity you can remember.
All I remember when I think of Sanchez at United is him coming off the bench, and proceeding to 'run' to the touch line, cut back onto his right foot at a snail's pace, and attempt a shin-height pass towards the penalty spot that is easily cleared by the first defender......around eight times per appearance.
I don't even remember the half against City, to be honest. In my recollection, he was above-average and given his form either side of those 45mins, it was lauded way above what it was truly worth.
