Ahead of United's FA Cup encounter with Chelsea, Sanchez and teammate Ander Herrera were both interviewed by the BBC. The 30-year-old confirmed that linesman collision story and revealed he had told sub goalkeeper Sergio Romero, but no-one else on the bench, that he had picked up a sore knock. He commented:
"The referee's assistant, when we had a counter-attack, came flying down the line, and I had my foot there and he crashed into me. Bang. "And I went back to the dugout and I said to Sergio Romero, 'I've just been whacked and I'm about to go on'. "I've got bruising but that's not an excuse for not being on my game in the way that I normally am."It is understandable that Sanchez may have been nervous about informing Solskjaer that he had been hurt, but the adult thing to do would have been to speak up and let someone take a look at his foot. "I would like to have brought more joy to the club," Sanchez later admitted. "Yes, it worries me because I believe in my abilities as a player, I want to show it." Herrera says Sanchez is the first of United's senior stars in the gym, midweek, and he backed him to make a positive impact in the season's run-in. For United fans, gym performances and vows to the media are one thing. Performing like the Sanchez of old is another.
