His only goal of the 2017-18 season came as he scored a free-kick in a 2–1 loss to Bristol City in the quarter-final of the EFL Cup. Moreover, he shared the pitch along with United’s legend Wayne Rooney as well as Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku.

Alexis Sanchez has recently signed for Manchester United. He didn’t get the chance to play with the Swedish international. Talking about him, Alexis Sanchez added,

“I like to train with him. I hope that I can play a match with him. With Zlatan I have trained a month and a half and he is very impressive. We talk and we have coffee together every day, it’s a shame that he no longer plays for his country.”

While talking about his injury, Jose Mourinho said,

“We all think it’s his last season at Manchester United and it will be a very personal decision for him to play or to stop. Only that awful injury at the wrong moment broke a fantastic couple of seasons he could, and should, have had with us.”

He further added,

“He’s not injured. Does he feel totally happy, ready and convinced that he’s in condition to help the team in this moment? No. But he’s such an honest guy and such a champion, he only wants to be back with that feeling of ‘I’m totally ready for it’.”
