Sanchez put in his normal performance. Lost the ball loads and was erratic on the ball, but at the same time he put up the best creative numbers on the pitch, I think second only to Ricardo for Leicester. Same thing he used to do for us, no surprises there. As usual he'll make up for it with goals and assists

99.99 percent of United fans do not rate him. If anybody watched yesterdays game he was United's worst player, making poor decisions, getting dispossessed easily and throwing hissy fits. He has also lost a yard of pace which makes him look even more ungainly. I was one of the few on this forum who wanted to see the back of him cos his poor performances for us towards the end of his tenure were clear evidence towards the beginning of his end at the highest level.

Yep there weren’t many of us who saw the light, he was a massive hindrance to the team. Never seen our team spirit so high with that cancerous influence gone

His legs have gone, lost his burst and his sprints are slower than ever. He’ll still pop up with a magic moment but we got rid at the right time

Özil is a much better footballer and will have a far bigger influence than Alexis will have on a team ever again

Is it fashionable to slag Sanchez now? Cos it was certainly a big no no back in the day despite him playing shite

There's a reason I always maintained Ozil was our best player. I think some of the criticism on here it's overly harsh but at the end of the day arsenal fans and the annoying pashun is life 4 four facking 2 pundits always overhyped him

During Alexis' time here, Ozil was our most gifted player and Sanchez, our most dangerous player. It's really difficult to segregate who was our best for that reason. Ozil is a naturally gifted, all-technique wizard. Alexis was our most explosive, lethal, and gritty player. Different strokes.

I'd still say that peak van Persie was better than both.

I don't think anyone would refute this. RVP was immense (for united as well) and carried unbelievable shit players

ManU fans hate him.

They are going after him on their forums.

They should sell that piano to recoup some of the money.
