‘Alexis Sanchez Has To Give More’- Man United Manager, Solskjaer

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer lauded Alexis Sanchez’s goal in Manchester United’s 3-1 FA Cup fourth-round win at Arsenal on Friday night, but said the forward “can only improve”.

Sanchez impressed in his first start against Premier League opposition since Solskjaer took charge last month, and netted United’s first goal of the evening with a fine finish.

And he clearly impressed his new boss with a good all-round performance before he was substituted with 18 minutes to go, with the Norweigan paying tribute specifically to him after the game.

“It wasn’t like Alexis had an open goal, it was a great finish,” he said. “Every player, the more confident you get the more you want to get on the pitch and train and work on yourself and you trust yourself.

“He has been injured lately so it was great to see him get 65-70 minutes tonight and he can only improve and I think he knows that himself.”
