Alexis Sanchez gave the ball away a staggering 30 times as Manchester United laboured against Crystal Palace on Monday night.
The Red Devils were awful in the first half and the early part of the second as the struggling Eagles burst into a 2-0 goal lead.
At that stage, United were in serious danger of going into this weekend’s huge meeting with arch rivals Liverpool behind the Reds in the league and Sanchez was unable to do much to rectify that.
The harder he tried to make something happen, the more the forward – valued at £63m by transfermarkt.co.uk – gave the ball away.
That said, his persistence paid off in the end as it was the Chilean’s shot against the Palace crossbar that led to Romelu Lukaku’s equaliser and the Red Devils went on to win 3-2 in stoppage-time.
Speaking after the match, Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher said that it was only the former Arsenal man’s reputation that would keep him in the side for Saturday’s crunch clash, so poor was he against Roy Hodgson’s men.
So we’re asking you; should Sanchez be dropped for Saturday’s match with Liverpool? Let us know by voting below…
Sorry folks, this poll is now closed!
