Alexis Sanchez has made a plea to Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to give him a new chance.

Sanchez scored his 51st international goal in Chile's 2-1 win over Ecuador on Friday night.

United are keen to sell, but are finding it a struggle to entice interest due to the player's huge wages.

Sanchez arrived in Brazil with the back-to-back Copa America champions and has scored in both matches, as La Roja have booked themselves a quarter-final spot.

And speaking after the game in Bahia, Sanchez made his plea to Solskjaer.

"I have always had the enthusiasm to play but in England I've been given few opportunities lately," Sanchez said.

"But I'm relaxed. Representing your country is the most beautiful thing there is."
