Paul Scholes urges Jose Mourinho to drop Alexis Sanchez

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes does not believe that January signing Alexis Sanchez deserves his place in the starting lineup on current form.

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has called on Jose Mourinho to drop Alexis Sanchez from his starting lineup.

Sanchez joined the Red Devils from Arsenal in January amid much fanfare, but the Chilean has scored just one goal in his 10 appearances for United across all competitions so far.

The 29-year-old's performance during Tuesday's Champions League defeat to Sevilla was again criticised as United crashed out of the competition, and Scholes does not believe that Sanchez warrants a place in the first team on current form.

"[Marcus] Rashford was frightening on that left side on Saturday, but he moved him to bring Sanchez into what he thinks is his best position," Scholes told BT Sport.

"[Sanchez] gave the ball away so often and his manager has to see that in the 10 games he has played, he has not been good.

"He needs to choose his best front three and be brave enough to leave one out. At the moment, Sanchez is the one to leave out."

United must now turn their attention to the FA Cup as they host Brighton & Hove Albion in the quarter-finals on Saturday.
