Robin Van Persie has advice for Manchester United star Alexis Sanchez.

The Chilean, who has struggled since arriving at United 18 months ago, is already seen as a flop by fans and pundits alike.

Van Persie, who knows what it is like to face expectation after a big money move from Arsenal to United, spoke about Sanchez's situation.

The Dutchman, who won the Premier League with United, told Goal: "He is still a wonderful player, still a great player. He needs to find a way to be happy again.

"If you are happy, you want to create and have fun. He had that in his first couple of months from what I saw and he needs to find that again.

"He can still play, he is still a fantastic football player. He just doesn't really look happy and the reason why this is... I don't know. I can only guess, but from distance, he looks unhappy and he needs to find a way to be happy again."
