‘Guardiola will be quaking in his boots’ - Craig Burley makes hilarious Man Utd claim
MANCHESTER CITY boss Pep Guardiola will be “quaking in his boots” if Ole Gunnar Solskjaer can get the best out of Alexis Sanchez at Manchester United, joked ESPN pundit Craig Burley.
Man United: Craig Burley RAGES over Solskjaer decision
Sanchez has had a miserable time at Manchester United since joining from Arsenal in January 2018.
The Chile international is currently out with a knee injury, his second injury of a frustrating season for the forward.
ESPN reporter Mark Ogden still believes newly appointed United boss Solskjaer can work his “magic” with Sanchez.
“He’s had a bad season with injury this year,” Ogden said.

“I do think Sanchez in there somewhere is a player, so I think they persevere with him.
“If Solskjaer can work his so-called magic on Sanchez, they’ve got a player there.”
Presenter Dan Thomas quipped: “That’s a lot magic isn’t it.”
And Burley jokingly suggested Pep Guardiola will be worried.
“Well he’s got it [magic], apparently,” Burley replied.
“The man is going to sprinkle his magic dust over Man United.
“Guardiola will be quaking in his boots.”
Former Arsenal striker Paul Mariner cannot understand Alexis Sanchez’s fall from grace since leaving the Emirates 15 months ago.

“There’s obviously something wrong with Sanchez, physically,” Mariner said.
“Because there’s no way that he could play as badly as he’s played at United.
“At Arsenal he was magic, he was fantastic.”
