Sanchez signing has sent United off course
THE signing of Alexis Sanchez was supposed, short-term, to give Manchester United distance. They may not be able to catch Manchester City, but they could put a bit of air between themselves and the other Champions League contenders. Instead, not only has Sanchez’s role disrupted what was looking a good season for paul pogba, United have been sucked back into the pack. Where once three teams were scrapping for two places, now four teams are fighting for three. Having lost to Tottenham, United’s two home games against Chelsea on February 25 and Liverpool on March 10 are now huge.
