Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Issues Update on Alexis Sanchez Fitness & Ander Herrera Man Utd Future:

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed that forward Alexis Sanchez is 'injury free' but is more likely to make his return to action after a five-week layoff against former club Barcelona next week rather than against West Ham on Saturday.

Sanchez has missed United's last six games in all competitions after tweaking knee ligaments in the home win over Southampton at the beginning of March.
"He is training with us. He's trained twice and will train today," Solskjaer explained on Friday morning at his weekly press conference.

"I'm not sure if he's going to be available [for West Ham]. He's injury free, I'm not sure he's 100% ready, more likely, maybe, the Barcelona game, so let's see."

Ander Herrera, who looks likely to join Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer this summer will also miss the game as a result of an ongoing knock suffered in training.

"He's been working really hard to get fit from his injury that he sustained against Liverpool. Then he came back and got a different one in training because he's been really putting a lot of work in," the United manager explained, via  ManUtd.com.

Giving little away as far as the player's uncertain future is concerned, he added: "Maybe the future might have been worrying him and maybe that's part of the reasons he's injured. Who knows? He doesn't know, because he got a different injury in training, so hopefully, he can be available around Chelsea, City. I'm not sure, because he's got another muscle injury."
