Damning stats show how Sanchez is failing to justify £505,000-a-week Man Utd deal compared to spell at Arsenal
Chile star is enduring his worst season for four years after scoring just two goals in all competitions for United

ALARMING stats show just how far Alexis Sanchez has fallen since his move from Arsenal to Manchester United.
The Chile star controversially left the Gunners for Old Trafford in January 2018 after three-and-a-half years to sign an eye-watering £505,000-a-week deal.
But he has failed to replicate the form that earned him such a huge payday and questions have arisen over his place in the team.
Sanchez, 30, scored just three goals in all competitions in his first season and so far this campaign has only two.
Worryingly, United are paying the former Barcelona ace a staggering £4.57MILLION per goal - compared to just £104,000 at Arsenal.
It has also cost them £816k per game played compared to just £40k at the Gunners.
At Arsenal, Sanchez scored 60 Premier League goals in 122 games, netting every 169 minutes with a conversion rate of 14.1 per cent.
At United, however, he has just three goals in 26 appearances, scoring every 554 minutes with a lower conversion rate of 8.6 per cent.
In all competitions, this has been Sanchez's worst season for four years.
He has played just 50 minutes per game, and per 90 minutes made 38.6 passes, 0.19 goals and ran 4.19 miles.

Sanchez admits he has to start justifying his whopping wages NOW.
Speaking ahead of tonight's FA Cup fifth round clash at Chelsea, he said: "I have to perform. That’s what I’m here for, to make a difference.
“A player like me needs to show it right now, I don’t think there is time.”
Despite the damning figures, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says he is confident there is more to come from Sanchez.
United's interim boss said: "We know there is a very good player there. It's like the ketchup bottle. When it comes, it comes, and I'm sure he'll be fine."
