Alexis Sánchez Made Only One Touch In 12 Minutes Against Manchester City

Alexis Sánchez once again showed why he was a shadow of his former self after he had one touch in his 12 minutes of playing time in the Manchester derby.

With Manchester United trailing 2-0 in the second half at Old Trafford, Red Devils boss Ole Gunnar Solskjær decided to roll the dice and bring on the former Arsenal ace in place of Matteo Darmian.

However, Sánchez was only able to make one touch while he was on the pitch, with United fans once again furious over his performance.

Bernardo Silva opened the scoring for City in the second half, with Leroy Sané doubling their lead after a mistake from David de Gea.

Of course, fans flocked to social media to suggest that de Gea and Jesse Lingard, who missed a brilliant opportunity to score an equaliser, 'purposely' made mistakes to deal a blow to Liverpool's Premier League title challenge.

Should Sánchez be sold in the summer?

Let us know in the comments.
