Sanchez gets cold comfort

- ■ by STEVE BATES

ALEXIS SANCHEZ has come in from the cold at Old Trafford – after complainin­g about a fridge in Manchester United’s dressing room.

The Chile striker, 29 (below) has found himself frozen out of some games – literally – and was said to have upset team-mates at his former club Arsenal with his attitude.

And his demanding ways seem to have surfaced again at United after a bizarre incident involving a drinks cooler.

It is understood his seat and locker were next to the fridge and each time that it was opened the £450,000-a-week star was hit with a cold draught.

Sanchez is believed to have complained about the cooler which has now been moved. An Old Trafford insider said: “He wasn’t happy that he was forever being hit with cold air when the cooler was opened.

“In a busy dressing room the fridge is used continuall­y and it became an annoyance for him.”

Sanchez is now back in Chile having been allowed to fly home as he recovers from a hamstring injury.
