Paul Pogba is confident Alexis Sanchez will improve for Manchester United after he put in another poor performance this weekend.

The Chilean joined the Red Devils from Arsenal in a swap deal with Henrikh Mkhitaryan in January, but has so far been a shadow of the player who would regularly light up the Emirates.

He was unable to inspire United to victory on Saturday, as the home side dropped points at Old Trafford to newly-promoted Wolves, but Pogba isn't writing him off just yet.

The World Cup winner is certain his team-mate can turn his fortunes around, once he has adapted to United's style of play.

"What you have to know about Alexis is that he is a hard worker, explained Pogba. "He trains very well, he always tries to help the team, talks with the team and everything.

"He will get used to it. When you play a long time with another team and you play different football in that other team, you have some kind of adaptation that you have to have.

"It's not that he is playing bad. We know that Alexis Sanchez can bring a lot and I'm sure he will.

"But he's not playing bad and he keeps being positive, you know, so that's the good thing we have to think about."
