Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says Alexis Sanchez will return to Manchester United this summer

Alexis Sanchez's transfer to Manchester United from Arsenal proved to be a massive flop. Arsenal were forced to sell the player in exchange of Henrikh Mkhitaryan. Manchester United's then manager - Jose Mourinho - signed one of the best talents of Premier League. Unfortunately for them, he proved to be a failure at Manchester United.

Alexis Sanchez was lethal at Arsenal. However, he didn't have any impact while playing for the Red Devils. Manchester United were paying extremely steep weekly wages to Alexis Sanchez. They decided to cut down the burden by sending the player to Inter Milan on loan.

Alexis Sanchez to return at Manchester United

Sanchez's spell at Inter Milan has not been that fruitful either. The winger was ruled out of the squad for 2 months. He has only been on the scoresheet once in the seven games played.

Recently, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer claimed that Alexis Sanchez will return to Manchester United in the summer and will prove his critics wrong. Yes, you heard it right. The player who was termed as a problem child by Manchester United fans now has the backing of the gaffer himself.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said, "Alexis will come back in the summer and will prove you all wrong.” To which, one of the reporters replied by saying, "Seriously?" The reporter's reaction to Solskjaer's claim sounds fair as Alexis Sanchez was a big flop at Manchester United. The 31-year-old looks far from his best at this moment. Sanchez's stats while playing for Manchester United are awful. The player has only scored five times in 45 appearances since joining the club in January 2018.
