Alexis Sanchez could benefit from new style says Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says Alexis Sanchez will return from injury against Newcastle and is "champing at the bit" to finally show Manchester United fans what he is all about.

A lot has changed at Old Trafford since the 30-year-old's last appearance five weeks ago.

Lied low by a hamstring injury, Sanchez watched on as Jose Mourinho lost his job after United went on a downward spiral that Solskjaer has got them out of in some style.

The Norwegian has overseen three straight wins and a 12-goal haul since taking over as caretaker manager, bringing hope and optimism back to the club entering 2019.

United kick-off at Newcastle on Wednesday evening, when Sanchez is in line to make his first appearance since November and start making amends for a dreadful first year at Old Trafford.

"He's had some great training sessions the last few days, he wanted to be here today, but we have to manage him," Solskjaer said of last January's big-name signing. "He's been out for a month.

"But he'll be involved, yes. He wants to play all the time, he's one of those characters.

"He put himself available, but it was a few days too early for him. He's not had enough fitness or whatever, but he's champing at the bit.
