Sanchez Is Yet To Shine Says Machester United Boss Mourinho

Sanchez was signed in a swap deal that reportedly made him the Premier League’s best-paid player but the Chile international has scored just one goal in eight United appearances, well below his career strike rate.

Mourinho, whose team take on Liverpool at Old Trafford on Saturday, believes it will be next season before the 29-year-old shows his best form.

“What is wrong is that he came at the worst moment of the season, in the winter market,” said the Manchester United boss. “That’s why I don’t like the winter market very much.

“I think this was a chance that we didn’t want to lose and we made. But we don’t believe a lot in the winter market.

“And for sure next season will be better for him. But of course he is learning how to play with us and we are learning how to get the best out of him.”

Pundits have suggested integrating Sanchez in mid-season has had an adverse effect on the form of teammates, in particular midfielder Paul Pogba.

But despite the obvious teething problems, Mourinho does not see Sanchez as a weakness in the United team.

“No. That’s something that we can develop and we’re going to develop with time, with experience and living these experiences together,” said the manager.
