Giuseppe Rossi impressed by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Manchester United

Alexis Sanchez will be available for Manchester United's Premier League clash with Brighton this weekend.

The Chilean trained all week after missing the 1-0 win at Tottenham with a minor hamstring issue.

"In the Reading game, maybe he should have told me at half-time 'I need to come off now' because the 15-20 minutes he played in the second half maybe that was too much for him and that gave him a setback," Solskjaer said.

"So, he's champing at the bit, I have to say.

"He's working hard in training. His attitude in training has been fantastic and he wants to play, so I'm looking forward to seeing him. But I've got loads of good players to choose from."

United will be looking for their seventh successive win when they face Brighton at Old Trafford on Saturday.
