Ex-Manchester United striker Louis Saha believes Alexis Sanchez can still have an impact at the club despite his woeful form thus far at Old Trafford.

The 30-year-old joined United from Arsenal in 2018 and there were high hopes that he would become a key player in the team.

So far he has fallen way short of expectations, however, managing just five goals in 45 appearances in two seasons, and he was left out of the squad which beat Chelsea4-0 at the weekend.

But Saha, who was at United from 2004-2008, still has faith that Sanchez can find the form which made him such a lethal player at Barcelona and Arsenal in the past.

Saha thinks Sanchez can take inspiration from his manager, and believes he has a lot to learn from Solskjaer.

"I’m hoping he’s working hard behind the scenes to get back to his best," Saha added. "He has to channel all his frustration in to his training and come back stronger.

"As a player, Solskjaer would always take any frustration he had and leave his all on the training field and we all know what he achieved as a player.

"He should be a prime example for Sanchez to follow and hopefully he gets his confidence back again."
