Solskjaer: Sanchez Has Taken A Big Step Forward
Manchester United caretaker manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has hailed Alexis Sanchez and says he has taken a big step forward.
The Chile international forward has struggled for form this season, with injuries hampering the influence he has had at United.
Sanchez was back on the scoresheet in the FA Cup against Arsenal, playing a key role in the 3-1 win and Solskjaer has been impressed with his performance in training.
“You try to sit him down and speak to him but he’s a really hard-working, proud man, and he is really determined to prove his worth,” he said. “He has been fantastic since I came. His work rate in training has been brilliant.
“Unfortunately, he has had the injuries, but I think [Friday] is a big, big step forward for him.”
“Everyone gets treated the same, because when you come in and you are looking around the dressing room and there are so many good players you have to prove your worth,” he said.
“You don’t just live off the price tag. I am not interested in what they have cost or what they are earning. What I am interested in is what they can give the team. But he does really want to be part of it.”
