Ole Cools Sanchez Injury Fears

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has played down fears over an injury picked up by Alex Sanchez in the 2-0 FA Cup win over Reading.

Manchester United hot-footed it to the airport after the game, with the side heading to Dubai for a warm-weather training camp ahead of next Sunday’s return to Premier League action at Tottenham.

Sanchez will need treatment ahead of the trip to Wembley, with the forward’s first start under the Norwegian ending with a hamstring issue flaring up.

“How was Alexis? Hopefully OK,” he said. “He was feeling his hamstring, but he should have told me one minute before because I made two subs. Hopefully, he’ll be OK for next weekend. “I think maybe he’s happy that he got through 60 minutes.

Hopefully, he won’t be too bad. “He’s been out a month now, he’s had 20 minutes against Newcastle, half an hour maybe. Now he’s had 60 minutes, so it’s about building up again.

“You know the quality he has. I think maybe when he gets another few games under his belt, he would have finished a little bit earlier on in the first half. He had one touch too many, could have finished when he was driving through the box, so he’ll be fine.”
