Alexis Sanchez has flopped since moving to Inter Milan on loan last summer He has been struck down by injuries and has fallen down the pecking order

                                                                                                  Inter Milan are reportedly set to turn down the chance to extend Alexis Sanchez's loan deal following what has been a disappointing season in Italy for the Manchester United player.

The 31-year-old has started just two Serie A matches during an injury-hit campaign and is now likely to return to Old Trafford before a decision is made over what to do about his long-term future.

The former Arsenal man still has two years remaining on his lucrative £500,000-a-week contract but has looked a shadow of the player he was since leaving the Emirates.Sanchez is popular in the Inter dressing room but his hopes of making a big impact were ruined by a serious ankle injury back in October. 

The forward has featured primarily in cup competitions since returning from his three-month lay-off and his days at the San Siro are coming to an end, according to The Telegraph.

Antonio Conte has decided that he does not want him anymore, which means he is to be sent back to United in the summer.   

Sportsmail understand that Guiseppe Marotta, the chief executive of Inter, does not want to pay the £17.5million (€20m) it would cost to snap him up on a permanent deal.
