'Piano his best performance'

Manchester United striker Alexis Sanchez brutally trolled by fans on Twitter after dismal Champions League performance

Chilean gave the ball away 20 times during the shock 2-1 defeat to Sevilla and has been less than impressive since his move from Arsenal

ALEXIS SANCHEZ bore the brunt of fans' abuse as Manchester United were dumped out of the Champions League.

Wissam Ben Yedder netted twice in quick succession after coming off the bench with Romelu Lukaku only able to net a consolation.

Nobody on the United side put in the performance that fans expected — but it was Sanchez who many were digging out.

The Chilean has struggled since joining from Arsenal in a swap deal involving Henrikh Mkhitaryan in January.

And no more so than last night as he gave the ball away 20 times. And the world of Twitter believe his best performance in a United shirt was his unveiling on the piano.

One user said: "Alexis Sanchez’s best performance with Manchester United was playing the piano. Let that sink in.."

@waynebrian7 agreed, tweeting: "Alexis Sanchez best performance for Manchester United was when he played the piano in his presentation at the club."

And @14kay0 believes the piano may be the reason for his lack of form since moving to Old Trafford.

She wrote: "The key to success is on the xylophone but Alexis Sanchez played it on a piano and that's why he is failing at @ManUtd #UCL"

Another fan, @Bhadoosky, said: "This is not the Alexis Sanchez Manchester United bargained for."

United legend Rio Ferdinand was scathing about Sanchez, claiming he was unrecognisable from his match-winning displays for Arsenal.

"Sanchez just looks a shadow of the player he was. When he was at Arsenal, he was a player that everyone looked to for inspiration.

"Here, he just looks like a stranger in this team. When you go to a team and play, you don't lose all your talent."
