Former England captain Alan Shearer has slammed the performances of Alexis Sanchez, claiming that the forward has looked "like the little boy lost" since arriving at Manchester United .

The Chilean swapped Arsenal for Old Trafford in January in a deal which saw Henrikh Mkhitaryan go the other way, but he's scored just once in 10 appearances for his new club.

The came from the rebound after he'd initially seen a penalty saved against Huddersfield, and after United exited the Champions League to Sevilla in midweek , Shearer laid into the 29-year-old's performances.

"They (United) signed Alexis Sanchez and it looks like they have got his twin brother," Shearer wrote in his column for Coral .

"He looks like the little boy the lost. It is the coach’s job to get the best out of the players."

Shearer also claimed that United boss Jose Mourinho should be getting more out of the players he has at his disposal, and slammed the Portuguese's style of football.

"When you look at the players they had on the pitch against Sevilla, the likes of Lukaku, Sanchez and Rashford, they had enough quality on the pitch and they should have been able to get the win in front of their home supporters," he wrote.

"United knew what they were getting when they signed Mourinho, a man who has an arrogance about him but delivers trophies.

"It might not be pretty at times but he gets you trophies just like he did last season. Having said all that, the football they have been playing has not been entertaining at all."
