Three reasons why it went pear-shaped for Alexis Sanchez at Manchester United

#3 He's lost his desire

It's all well and good blaming Sanchez on his surroundings, but what if his surroundings have had an effect on him? Remember, he's not the first player to come to United and lose their desire...

Playing at a club the size of United carries immense expectation, with only a few players being able to live up to that. Perhaps the Chilean went into this move with a false view of himself, given all he achieved at Arsenal.

When you've lost your fire, Jose Mourinho isn't exactly the best person to deal with that. All of these reasons combined makes it clear to see why many are looking at his situation, wondering whether or not United will decide him to sell him in January.

What do you think United should do? Is Alexis just another fallen star, or is there still a gem inside him waiting to be unearthed?
