Manchester United caretaker Ole Gunnar has expressed concern over United forward Alexis Sanchez, while believing the teams present form will improve his confidence to scoring a goal.
Sanchez has scored only two goals in all competitions for United this season and the Chile international is no longer a guaranteed starter under Solskjaer, with in-form youngsters Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford preferred up front.
“If he could just get that goal, I am sure that would release some of his confidence,” Solskjaer told reporters ahead of Monday’s FA Cup trip to Chelsea, Euronews said.
“That is what it is about when you go through periods when you do not perform up to your standard. I think he is a very good player,” Solskjaer added.
Sanchez, who scored 30 goals in his final full season at Arsenal, said he was concerned about his form and also said he had not discussed his role on the pitch in details with the Norwegian boss since he took charge in December.
