5 questions to answer post the Alexis Sanchez-Henrikh Mkhitaryan swap deal

#4 Where does Alexis Sanchez play?

Where do I play now?

Alexis starred in Udinese, first as a right winger and then as a No. 10 or a false 9. At Barcelona, he was predominantly a right-winger, supporting the legendary Lionel Messi.

Arsenal is where he arguably shone the brightest where he would often play as a left-winger or a central striker.

However, United have a couple of good options on the left in the shape of Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford. The right-wing, and even the No. 10 spot have no such stand out players with both Jesse Lingard and Juan Mata moving in and out of the starting line-up.

Considering how Martial and Rashford struggle on the right, it looks unlikely for Sanchez to continue playing on the left.

The most likely option seems that Sanchez would start through the middle as a no. 10 with Jesse Lingard playing on the right. Another option would be to play Sanchez as a second striker in a 4-4-2 formation.
