What angry Manchester United players did to Sanchez at half time of Sevilla defeat

Alexis Sanchez's Manchester United struggles have been no secret following his January move from Arsenal.

The Premier League's most well-paid player has scored just once in 10 games and has failed to hit the heights expected since taking the No.7 shirt at Old Trafford.

Sanchez himself has laid bare his disappointment with his own displays at a time when Jose Mourinho is being forced to defend a team that has been widely criticised.

However, it's claimed that the biggest blast has come from within.

According to The Sun, at half-time of the Champions League embarrassment at the hands of Sevilla, United players rounded on Sanchez and tore into the 29-year-old.

The £500,000-a-week star let rip at the Chilean, with claims they were unhappy with his failure to track back when United lost possession and that he plays the game only on his terms - not covering for teammates caught out of position.

Additionally, he was reminded that his performances needed to be greater at Old Trafford than they ever were at The Emirates.

Sanchez had little impact against the Spanish side as United were dumped out of Europe.

And the Chilean was subsequently dropped from the starting lineup for the FA Cup quarter-final win over Brighton, remaining on the bench throughout.

Earlier this week Sanchez admitted he had expected more from himself in his opening two months at United.

"As I am self-demanding, I expected something better," said Sanchez. "After my arrival at United, it was hard to change everything very quickly. I even hesitated to come here [to Sweden, with the national team].

"I had asked permission to miss these games, but then I thought better and spoke with Claudio [Bravo] and told him that we should all be united.

"The change of club was something that was very abrupt - it was the first time I've changed clubs in January - but many things have happened in my life that are difficult."
