Manchester United are organising friendlies to fast-track Alexis Sanchez's match fitness.

Sanchez is behind the rest of the players in terms of fitness having joined up with them after taking part in the Copa America with Chile. He suffered a hamstring injury in his final game of the competition which also set him back.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insists Sanchez can be part of it but has to prove himself with arranged games at Carrington and extra training.

He has played in one already against Blackburn.

Solskjaer said: “We've had a behind-closed-doors game, he's training, a little bit of extras.

“He'll be gradually integrated into more playing time but we'll have more behind closed doors."
