Alexis Sanchez has apologised to Manchester United fans and says he hasn't performed at his best level this season because of "unpredictable injuries".

Sanchez, who joined United from Arsenal in January 2017, has had a dismal campaign, scoring just one goal in 20 Premier League appearances.

His form has reflected United's poor finish to the season as they have slipped to sixth after two wins from their last nine league games.

Sanchez posted on Instagram after United were beaten 2-0 at home on the final day to apologise to supporters and explain the reasons for his below-par campaign.

"It was a very tough season...the fans are the ones who deserve an apology as they always support you no matter what happens.
