Sanchez had a great game and scored a goal. But what should have United fans excited is that he played extremely well through the centre and can thus ease the pressure on Lukaku next season. This could give Mourinho another option if he wants to go with two strikers.

Sanchez did not have a great end to the season, since joining in January and has been trying too hard to make his effect felt. Yet, in the game against AC Milan, he was back to his old self. His speed and technique were for all to see and his finishing was also on display. His little runs sent sizzles of energy through the United ranks and you could see that he is raring to go now.

With the full team around him and support of the first team players, Alexis will be even better. Missing out on the world cup seems to have its benefits for the Chilean. He looks rested, fit and there’s the hunger to perform and etch a name for himself in the year ahead. United fans should be very excited by his performance against AC Milan, he looks like he could play like a real Manchester United No. 7 in the 2018/19 season.
