Arsenal vs Manchester United: Alexis Sanchez will face former club in FA Cup following return from injury
Alexis Sanchez WILL play against Arsenal on Friday evening having returned from injury in time for Manchester United’s trip to the Emirates.The FA Cup fourth round clash – which you can listen to LIVE on talkSPORT – pits Sanchez against the team he left in January 2018 as part of a swap deal which saw Henrikh Mkhitaryan move the other way.Sanchez’s time at Old Trafford has been largely unsuccessful in the 12 months since, and he’s started just five Premier League matches matches this season.2

Alexis Sanchez has struggled since joining Manchester United last January

Admittedly, the Chile international has missed a large portion of the campaign through injury, and he’s only been fit to feature in three matches of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s reign as caretaker manager.He played 27 minutes of a 2-0 defeat of Reading on January 2 before starting the FA Cup third round win at Reading three days later, but failed to make it off the bench last week in the narrow 2-1 home defeat of Brighton.Sanchez returned to training in the days leading up to Saturday’s match, and now that he’s had another whole week to get match fit, Solskjaer is ready to let him feature against the Gunners. Solskjaer confirmed Sanchez will be involved, and also suggested he will be fired up should the Arsenal fans voice their criticism of the forward.“Hell be involved,” Solskjaer said.“I think hell love it if the crowd turn against him. As a player, pride kicks in and you think Ill show all of you.2

Sanchez was a fine performer for Arsenal, though his form dipped during his final months at the Emirates

“Hes been fantastic in training, his attitude has been spot on so hopefully hell enjoy the game.”Solskajer will be unable to call upon Marouane Fellaini, the midfielder, and defenders Chris Smalling and Macos Rojo, however, with the trio all confirmed to remain stuck on the sidelines.You can listen to full commentary of seven FA Cup fourth round ties – including Manchester United’s trip to Arsenal – live on talkSPORT
