'Sanchez always seemed a sad man' - Mourinho hopes Man Utd flop can recover form at Inter

The Chile attacker failed to impress at Old Trafford but his former manager hopes he can find happiness following a loan move to Serie A

Jose Mourinho says he always had the impression that Alexis Sanchez was "a sad man" but hopes his former Manchester United player can regain his form at Inter.

Sanchez joined United from Arsenal in January 2018 while Mourinho was in charge, rejecting an offer from fierce rivals Manchester City in the process.

The Chile international was unable to secure a place in the Red Devils' starting XI, however, as the side failed to keep up with their dominant neighbours.
