Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the Manchester United manager, has ruled out any potential return of the Chilean winger Alexis Sanchez for this weekend's tie against Wolverhampton Wanderers, following an injury to his knee.

"He returns to England this Sunday. He's yet to set foot on grass, they're treating him in Barcelona. It will be some weeks before he can return. You can never tell at 10% but Alexis is a commited lad, he loves football, I'm sure he's doing everything he can to come back" Explained the Norwegian interim manager today.

Sanchez is one of various abscenses for United this Sunday for the match against Wolves in the FA Cup Quarter-Finals. Solskjaer may also be without Anthony Martial, Ander Herrera and Jesse Lingard, who have been training this week.
