Manchester United ace Alexis Sanchez gears up for pre-season
After Chile failed to qualify for the World Cup in Russia, Sanchez has been enjoying a relaxing summer break.

Sanchez was criticised for his under-par performances after joining United, however, the forward has been working hard to ensure he is ready for pre-season.
The 29-year-old took to Instagram this week to give fans a glimpse of his summer fitness regime which has seen him go for night-time runs on the beach.
He worked up a sweat on the beach in Rio by wearing ankle weights during his run.
And the former Arsenal man couldn’t resist showing off his chiselled abs to fans as by lifting up his shirt to reveal his six-pack.
United supporters were delighted to see Sanchez working hard off the pitch ready for the new campaign.
“Hope he smashes it next season! Looks like he’s working hard to do that!” one fan tweeted.
Another said: “We'll see the real Alexis next season.”
A third wrote: “Be stronger for next season.”
Manchester United will begin their pre-season training with a five game tour of America later this month.
They will face Club America on July 19, before facing San Jose three days later.
A meeting with Italian giants AC Milan will take place on July 25 before they face Premier League rivals Liverpool and European champions Real Madrid.
