Alexis Sanchez has been left fuming after being axed by Jose Mourinho.

Sanchez’s future at Manchester United is in serious doubt after he failed to even make the bench for the disastrous defeat at West Ham.

It leaves under-pressure United boss Mourinho facing another major problem over a star player after his public fall out with Paul Pogba.

Sanchez was stunned by his exclusion on Saturday having travelled to London with the squad and sulked his way through the game as he sat behind the United dug-out.

Chile star Sanchez made it clear to everyone behind the scenes during the game how angry and upset he was at the latest blow to his faltering United career.

Sanchez, 29, had a long chat with former Arsenal team mate Lucas Perez, now at West Ham, in the tunnel and there is a feeling he regrets his move to Old Trafford in January.

Sanchez has yet to score for United this season, he was supposed to be fresh after not being involved in the World Cup and yet has struggled badly for form.

He has been asked to play out wide at United while his best spells at Arsenal came when he played through the middle.

Sanchez also missed the defeat at Brighton in August with Mourinho insisting he was injured but the Chilean started the next game with team mates surprised at his exclusion.

Reports in Chile suggest that Mourinho criticised Sanchez for his poor recent form in front of his United team mates before the West Ham game.

But United could struggle to offload Sanchez as he earns in excess of £500,000-a-week at Old Trafford which has proved to be difficult for the club’s hierarchy as other top stars now see him as the benchmark for contract negotiations.

United fought hard to beat Manchester City to the signing of Sanchez but the ex-Arsenal star has started just four games this season and been substituted in three of them.

It is another crisis for Mourinho to solve as the Portuguese battles to save his job after the club’s disastrous start to the campaign.
