Love how this cnut of a commentator has been banging on for 10 minutes about Sanchez "diving" and then it turns out his left foot was clipped.
 
Has been very good. Maybe we should sacrifice Lingard and play him in that role with Martial on the left.

Lingard as been our best player these past few months, why should he be sacrificed? :confused:

Martial is where he should be for now (on the bench).
 
I’ve always been a great fan of Sanchez. Remember how he lifted his Chile from average to world class in the WC. I love his attitude, smartness and magic touch. Maybe a bit of a diver sometimes, but I think that’s because he’s playing so aggressively. Today he’s really acting as a playmaker and his passing is top notch.

Can’t help thinking, however, that his entrance will be bad for the two best players so far this season: Martial and Lindgaard.
 
Is in a class if his own out there today. Only Mata comes anywhere close out of the 11 on the pitch for us.
 
Plenty of effort for sure but the bloke must be looking around at the likes of McTominay and Lukaku and think what has he done to deserve this?
 
Must be frustrating for him playing with our attacker
He played with messi , iniesta , xavi , and then ozil whom has high football IG & technically gifted
 
But his all action style leaves the ref with a great chance to make the headlines with a second yellow-the first was a foul but never a card. Sanchez has to be very careful with this ref.....
 
The difference in quality and intelligence between Sanchez and our other attacking players is HUGE.

His movement, the way he turns on the spot away from trouble, passing between the lines instead of sideways.

Must be a shock for him going from the football that Arsenal play to us, he's getting visibly frustrated at his team mates not making overlapping runs (Shaw) or always passing it back to our defence (Matic and Mata).
 
Should be playing on the right. When he wants to run ahead of the ball from the left it leads him inside. That just makes things more congested. I’d love it if as could unleash his speed down the right flank.
 
One of the few positives. Trying really hard to make things happen.
 
Hate to say it but if I were him I'd be regretting joining this team. He's a brilliant player and deserves to be surrounded by better quality. Instead he's surrounded by morons who haven't got a clue what to do in the final third.

Would’ve been great to have him together with Zlatan anno 2015 :)
 
He’s been brilliant. It’s a shame we’ve Lukaku up front as every ball sanchez plays into him just bounces straight off.
 
Sanchez showing some of his antics that caused some bad blood at Arsenal. We don't want him to do that here, he has to understand that he may not get the ball all the time and it is a team game. It's one thing to be disappointed but throwing your arm around whenever something doesn't go his way is not very mature and could have a negative impact in the team.

He is a great player, but he needs to gel into the team. I think he should have been eased in to the team.
 
Has to drop deep all the time because non of our defensive players can build up play also the reason why we attempt to drop Pogba so deep despite him clearly not performing well in that area. Need to get smarter defenders in the summer that can actually build up from the back against defensive sides.
 
what was the point of signing sanchez if it wasn't for the right wing which has been the problem area this season, I'm not bashing sanchez but we would have been better off getting mahrez this january seeing as it would have solved the right wing issue.

He has always dropped deep though. Been a staple complaint during his career, he has that Rooney style desire to chase the ball. It is why(one of the reasons) you can not play him as a striker, will not hold a position.

I know he needs his freedom which isn't even a bad thing but if my attacking palyers have to pop up between my defenders to make something happen going forward we need to do something about our build up from the back. You just have to look at our backline when they are on the ball. They can't handle pressing, they take ages to make a pass, all good athletes but not footballers unfortunately.
 
If he was bought to actually play on the left while martial is in form and he’s playing average I will lose all faith in the clubs transfer strategy.

He’s not been average though. He’s clearly a stand out point in our team.

I do think we should keep martial on the left due to his form and have Sanchez either middle or right
 
If he capped off his performance today with a goal or an assist, it is a 10/10 for me. Hope he doesn't get frustrated and let his head drop if he doesn't score, because his all-round game has been fantastic and the goals will soon come.

He's like a terrier, always snapping. Must get it from his two dogs.
 
MOTM today. Class act.
 
We are not paying him enough, should clearly be on way more than 600k\week.
 
His performance and work rate has deserved him a goal today.. won’t be the last time we say that either I’m sure!
 
Well now iv seen him miss a penalty i know he is a united player..welcome Alexis
 
Someone in the team able to score from the penalty spot would be priceless.
 
He's been excellent today, He's got to be our man of the match, He scored as well, I believe he will be a success with us in my opinion.
 
I think Sanchez still suits Arsenals style of play a lot more. The footballing IQ especially in attack seems to be at a higher standard too compared to United. It's a shame we are seeing the same frustrations as he displayed at Arsenal. He is a winner and wont be afraid to do it all himself in times where the team are failing him. He did well for the penalty and no matter who you have surrounding him, he will always create something special - for example the penalty chance.

It will be shame if United fail to improve on their attack next season. You need more technical players.
 
The way he ghosts past players is a joy to watch, his speed and movement with the ball at his feet is fantastic.
