Neville seems pretty baffled by Sanchez’s inclusion in the Man Utd starting XI, and by the former Arsenal player’s rapid decline in general.
Speaking on Sky Sports ahead of the United-Huddersfield clash, as quoted in the tweets below by United Xtra, the pundit did not hold back in his assessment of Sanchez, whom he feels has gone backwards in every area.

It’s hard to argue with Neville’s analysis, with Sanchez previously one of the finest attacking players on the planet.
Combining skill, goals, speed, strength and work rate, Sanchez was an absolute nightmare for defenders to deal with at his peak.
At United, however, he’s displayed none of those attributes, making him arguably their worst signing of recent times despite plenty of competition.
