#1 Big game experience
Sanchez has played a total of 567 games in his club career, scoring 176 goals in the process. He has the experience of playing against the best in La Liga, the Champions League and also the premier league.
The Chilean has won several trophies including the LaLiga, Copa del Rey, UEFA Super Cup, FA Cup, to name a few, at Club Level. He has also won two Copa Americas with his national team Chile.
During the 2016 Copa America, Sanchez won the Golden Ball award, which is given to the best player of the tournament. He has the winner’s pedigree instilled within him and has the experience of playing against big teams. As such, United, currently short of experience and confidence, will be looking to him to provide some inspiration.
Against Spurs, for United to win, Alexis Sanchez needs to be on the field and take the initiative.
Foot Note: Last time United faced Tottenham, which was in the FA Cup Semi Final, Sanchez scored a fine headed equalizer. United ultimately won the game 2-1.
