The Chilean\u2019s struggles at Manchester United could easily end with a flourish, according to his caretaker-manager <\/div>\n

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has likened Alexis Sanchez\u2019s poor form at Manchester United to the agonising wait for ketchup to emerge from a bottle!<\/p>\n

The Chilean attacker was ineffective once more as a substitute in Tuesday\u2019s home Champions League loss to Paris Saint-Germain, leading caretaker-boss Solskjaer to proclaim that Sanchez needs to \u201cfind himself\u201d out on the field of play.<\/p>\n

But as United prepare for Monday\u2019s FA Cup fifth-round trip to Chelsea the Norwegian has backed Sanchez to burst back to form soon, telling his post-match press conference that attempting to coax a performance out of the former Arsenal man reminds him of bashing a bottle of ketchup.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s very talented, but of course there\u2019s only so many things you can sit down and talk about and tweak,\u201d said Solskjaer.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf he could just get that goal I\u2019m sure that would release his confidence. That\u2019s what it\u2019s about when you go through periods when you don\u2019t perform up to your standard because we know there is a very, very good player there.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s one of those things. You know that bottle of ketchup when it\u00a0never comes, but when it suddenly comes there\u2019s loads!<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it comes, it comes. I\u2019m sure he\u2019ll be fine.\u201d<\/p>\n

With Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard set to miss out for two to three weeks each with groin and hamstring issues respectively, Sanchez could well feature more prominently in the coming fixtures against the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool and the return with PSG.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

And Solskjaer admits he could do with the 30-year-old finding some form sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need every player to perform to the best level. We are challenging to be top four, challenging against very, very good teams, so you need the players to step up now and you expect that at Manchester United at the end of the season. You always do well towards the end of the season.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe players have had this little set back with the PSG game, maybe a reality check. Their pride has been hurt, and I\u2019m sure they\u2019ll bounce back on Monday.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Solskjaer has backed Paul Pogba despite his late sending-off against the French champions for a foul on Dani Alves when attempting to shield the ball.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know what his intentions were. He was trying to shield the ball, but it can look on VAR or TV like it\u2019s a bad challenge, but Paul is one of them who uses his body really well. He\u2019s unlucky to hit him there.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me it\u2019s one of his strengths to shield players off and get away from people. But I\u2019ve been speaking to him about how we move on from this.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
