Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof has hailed Alexis Sanchez for the Chilean’s performance against Swansea City in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
Sanchez has largely struggled to make his mark for the Red Devils since switching from Arsenal during the January transfer window.
The attacker netted on his home debut for the club against Huddersfield Town, but found it difficult to make an impression as the Red Devils bowed out of the Champions League.

Sanchez enjoyed arguably his best game in a United shirt at the weekend, however, as he set up Romelu Lukaku for the game’s opener before netting the second in the 2-0 success.
Lindelof, who now seems to be winning over the United fans, has revealed that he was ‘very happy’ for Sanchez due to the struggles that the 29-year-old has endured during his short time at the Theatre of Dreams.
Lindelof told MUTV:
“I think Alexis also had a very good game and he showed his movement and quality with the ball is great so I am very happy for him as well.”
Next up for United is a trip to Manchester City in the Premier League this weekend, and defeat for Jose Mourinho’s side at the Etihad Stadium would hand their bitter rivals the title.
