Manchester United’s form has been ‘choked’ since Alexis Sanchez arrival, says Charlie Nicholas.

Charlie Nicholas claims the formula for success at Manchester United has been “choked” since the signing of Alexis Sanchez, with Romelu Lukaku struggling as a result of the January signing.

Lukaku has failed to score against any of the current top eight teams in the Premier League and faces his former club Chelsea at Old Trafford this Sunday. The Belgian striker has developed a reputation as a prolific striker after scoring 21 goals this season but failing to find the target in recent away visits to Sevilla, Newcastle, Tottenham and Burnley.

Nicholas said: “He has pace and power and I always liked him when I watched him at Everton, I don’t think the pressure of being at Manchester United is a problem for him. But it’s as if they don’t quite trust him.

“Jose Mourinho always plays him because he’s their best out ball. All of a sudden, the formula has choked since Sanchez went there.

“If I’m playing with Lukaku, I get the ball into him early. He’s got all the assets, so keep him involved. He goes cold because he hardly gets the service. The style doesn’t benefit him for me.”
