| Alexis Sanchez will not be recalled to replace Marcus Rashford |
There is no
chance of Alexis Sanchez returning
from his loan spell with Inter Milan
this month to replace Marcus Rashford,
the Telegraph
confirms. This is because Manchester
United did not include a recall clause in the deal with the Serie A side.
The Chilean has only just returned to
action after missing 3 months due to an ankle injury and has made just 4 appearances
so far. He is yet to reach full fitness, but regardless of whether the club would have considered him, United do not have the option to
get him back to Old Trafford to cover for Rashford, whose recent injury has put Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in a spot of bother.
The Englishman
injured his back against Wolverhampton
Wanderers and it is now reported that he has picked up a double stress
fracture in his back. Subsequently, Rashford could be out for around 3 months
and that is a big setback for the Red Devils.
Solskjaer has only 2 recognized strikers in his team at the moment

| Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood are the only 2 recognized strikers at United right now |
Ole Gunnar
Solskjaer has been left with just Anthony
Martial and Mason Greenwood as
the two recognized strikers in the team. As such, Manchester United might have to indulge in the transfer market to
reinforce the striking department.
The Red Devils
are already without Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay and Rashford’s injury
seriously jeopardizes United’s quest for a top 4 finish. Solskjaer hinted in
his post-match interview after the Liverpool
game that the Red Devils are considering a short-term fix in order to maintain
their march towards the Champions League
places.
In such a
scenario, the option to recall Sanchez from his loan spell perhaps would have
come in handy. However, the Red Devils were adamant that they wanted to get rid
of the Chilean in the summer. In fact, United are currently paying a part of
his salary, which comes to around £175000 per week and that highlights how eager the
club was to offload him in the summer.
As of now,
Sanchez continues to be a part of the Inter
Milan setup and United will be hoping that the Serie A side will consider
converting the loan into a permanent deal. For Solskjaer, though, the search
for Rashford’s replacement will have to continue elsewhere.
Yes, united didnot think that he could of much use. At this situation alexis sanchez would have been more than helpful and who knows, given the kind of player he has been all his lifr, he might have found the lost confidence.
ReplyDeleteAgreed.He could have been a useful option. Maybe United had a plan when they opted not to include a recall clause. Will that come back to haunt them?
DeleteSanchez hasn't given any signs to prove United wrong so far, so maybe it was a risk worth taking?
Thank you for you opinion. We hope to see you around at FMD. Kindly stay tuned for more updates on Manchester United.
