Ander Herrera can’t work out why Alexis Sanchez has struggled to perform at Man Utd since joining from Arsenal.
Sanchez signed for Man Utd from Arsenal in January 2018 in a swap deal with Mkhitaryan going in the other direction following much speculation.
The Chilean has had a disastrous spell at Man Utd to date, scoring just five goals for the club in 45 appearances as he struggled to settle.

He was sent on loan to Inter Milan in the summer but has been unable to establish himself under Antonio Conte due to injury.
Speaking about Sanchez’s failure to find his feet at Man Utd, Herrera told The Athletic: “Sometimes, in football, there is no explanation for every single thing that happens.
“Alexis is one of them. He came from Arsenal. He used to win games by himself for Arsenal.
“I remember watching him because Arsenal were our rivals for titles and the top four. I saw them losing games 2-0 and Alexis would score two and they’d win the game. He’d score the winning goal.
“It shows football sometimes has no explanation. How can a player, who one month before, two months before, is the best player by far in a big team like Arsenal… then he comes to United and he doesn’t perform? I have no explanation.”
