- Alexis Sanchez is set to be given the boot by Man United boss Jose Mourinho
- The 29-year-old Sanchez moved to Man United from Arsenal in January
- Sanchez has not scored in five appearances this season despite earning £500,000-per-week
Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho is keen on offloading Chilean forward Alexis Sanchez as soon as the Red Devils find a suitor for the misfiring striker.
According to a UK Daily Star report, despite pocketing about £500,000 weekly, Sanchez has failed to score for the Old Trafford dwellers after making five appearances in the new season.
The 29-year-old, who made the trip to London with Manchester United teammates, was not considered good as he was left out of the club’s 18-man squad that lost at West Ham on Saturday.

Speaking on why the Chilean was not considered for selection against the Hammers, Mourinho admitted it was a tough call, based on “Options, just options.”
Interestingly, the Red Devils battled Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City to sign Sanchez during the winter transfer season in January.
However, nine months down the road, it now looks as if United’s chiefs acted in error in sanctioning the move, with Mourinho now considering an exit for the Chilean.
