Alexis Sanchez apologises to Man Utd fans and explains reasons for his poor form

Alexis Sanchez has issued an apology to Manchester United fans after a poor season came to an end.

United were beaten 2-0 by already-relegated Cardiff at Old Trafford as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's problems continue to mount.

Sanchez has struggled for form and fitness during his first full season at Old Trafford and may well be one of the players moved on this summer, if United can find a club to take up his extortionate wages.

The Chilean wasn't even on the bench against Cardiff but took to Instagram at full-time to send a message to United's fans.

"It was a very tough season...the fans are the ones who deserve an apology as they always support you no matter what happens," the former Arsenal man wrote.

"Personally, I didn't perform as much as I was expecting because of unpredictable injuries.

"Press and people were speculating of things that were not even true. I was always a professional in all aspects.

"I apologise to the fans for not be able to achieve our goals. Nevertheless we are Manchester United !

"Players and Staff are questioning if we were doing the right thing and if we were giving our best for this football shirt.

"I'm certain that Manchester United one day will return to be the club, as it was in the old days with Mr. Alex Ferguson."

Sanchez is contracted at Old Trafford until 2022 but there are suggestions United will look to move on to free up his wages.

He currently warns around £26m-a-year at United following his move from Arsenal in January 2018.
