ALEXIS Sanchez has been spotted with his new girlfriend at a train station as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer plans double training sessions to get the flop back on track.

The Manchester United outcast, 30, was forced to wait an hour for a train from Wimslow to London with his new partner after just missing one - and things are set to get worse for him this week.

According to a source at United, Solskjaer believes Sanchez to be ten days behind schedule and will be given some brutal training days to get ready for the Premier League opener against Chelsea on Sunday.

Sanchez returned to training later than most of his Man Utd team-mates thanks to his involvement in the Copa America this summer.

The former Arsenal star has told pals he will be ready for the monster clash with Chelsea.

But the United backroom staff will monitor his progress and see how he reacts to the marathon training sessions during the week.

SUMMER WOES

Sanchez was left at home with Romelu Lukaku for United's recent trip to Norway to take on Kristiansunds.

The Chilean returned from South America nursing a hamstring injury and wasn't risked.

Sanchez hurt his leg just 17 minutes into his side's third-placed play-off loss at the hands of Argentina.

And the bad news kept pouring in for Sanchez too, as he was slapped with a fine after illegally parking his £160,000 Bentley Bentayha.

The Old Trafford flop was returning home from London and getting into his posh motor at Wilmslow train station when he discovered the yellow ticket at the very same time as his United pals were flying home from Norway.

However, it would have taken the United star just 71 seconds to pay off the £60 fine thanks to his incredible £505,000-a-week wages.

Sanchez had a disappointing campaign last year where he struggled with both form and fitnes, scoring just once in 20 games.

But he showed signs of a recovery with a number of solid performances at the Copa America over the summer.
