Martial was much worse. But that will surely be forgotten.

Martial is usually very good, and capable of being a great player. Lukaku and Sanchez are usually shite. Actually in the case of Sanchez he's ALWAYS shite

Not that we seen much of Lukaku tonight but I think it's all but confirmed now for Sanchez. Might as well have signed some randomer from West Ham for all the quality he produces.

I think we would be mad to sell Lukaku. Whether he goes on to be Manchester Utd’s main man at CF I have my doubts but he’s a proven goalscorer and offers something different to most strikers with his raw pace and strength

Imagine being an opposition defender and it’s 0-0 after 60mins of hard graft. You look over and see a fresh Lukaku about to come...you’ve got to be thinking “bloody hell that’s all I need!”
A National League defender might think that.

Didn't we (Jose) essentially buy Sanchez to keep him away from City? Fred, same ting innit.

Will reiterate again, these two are not "quality back-up players".

They are not the sort of players who will ever produce coming off the bench. And neither are they anywhere close to good enough to start matches at this club.

No value in keeping either of them. If we can sell them we have to. Problem is we won't be able to shift them.

Seriously we need to get rid of Alexis, he is a waste of time. It will be really hard to ship him out with those wages, anyone knows when does his contract expires?

The squad has no depth whatsoever. Whoever is the manager in the summer has his work cut out.

Lukaku, Sanchez and Mata can all leave provided replacements can be found. Mctominay, Periera and Fred aren't a great deal better but worth persisting with for another season at least.

Bench Sanchez for good, replace him with a kid. Tell him he has no more futur and should look for a new club or enjoy the stands.

Our club is way too nice, we need ruthlessness in getting rid of deadwood. We should never renew contracts like the likes of Young. Rewarding mediocrity over and over again

Sanchez is honestly one of the worst attacking players I’ve seen play for the club. Absolutely useless for over a year, he’s lost his pace, can’t find a pass and his goal record is a complete joke.

He’s a massive problem for us because of his salary. A colossal feck up by the club.

Shades of Rooney in his last season with us.

I'm finally convinced. We're playing with 9 men, well 8 if you include Mata. Get rid.

If you watched carefully Martial was being tag teamed and didn’t have much of the ball to do anything with it because of the tactics, it is also why PSG were a non threat in the first half. After he was subbed of, look at how much damage was done on the right side with fullbacks pushing higher up.

Sanchez has lost all his agility. He still thinks his body can pull things of but it's just not going to happen for him. And he's no Giggs who can adapt either. He's finished at this level.

Sanchez looks like a man trying to do things his body won't let him do. Sad really.

Get rid ASAP. Pack in Mata, Young and Jones as well but don't tell the buyer.

I wonder if Sanchez himself realize that he's done? Must be so, so sad to keep trying, but always come up short.

Sell Sanchez, even if it's on a free. He offers nothing and takes huge wages. He should be told he has zero future at Manchester United.

Magical Manchester United.
I’d rather play with ten men than using Alexis again, the guy is completely finished at this level. A costly mistake by the club, but we need to cut our losses during the summer window. There is no place for passengers like him if we are serious about rebuilding.

I want to say something really mean about Sanchez but I'm afraid I might never get promoted. He's starting to really piss me off

Sanchez is beyond sad to watch, I'm actually annoyed when I see him play for us. I honestly thought things would be different under Ole, but it's exactly the same.

Wow, such quality from the bench :drool::drool::drool: Surely worth paying £700k a week for these 2 just for the squad depth alone.

Young has a place at our club against lesser oppo. He should never be considered first choice for nights like this.

Completely agree with Sanchez... Hopefully China come in sometime this month and take him away.

Spot on, the FBs were cautious in the first half with Martial and Lingard being a threat with their pace. Once they come off, the FBs were making more runs without worry.

How can a player with Sanchez's pedigree, who we had to compete with city to sign and who we signed for such huge wages be so utterly useless???? Him in particular but Mata as well are total non entities as attackers. Wed be better playing the kids ahead of them.

Yup. Exactly. Got to say Lingards presence also had good effect for similar reason.

Voted to get rid of both. Can't have two very high earners as subs. Plus we getting nothing from them on the pitch. It's taking up space and wages. Just cut our losses and press the reset button.

Never again should the club get 30 year olds and put them on ridiculous salaries. Nor should we get technically deficient players for huge sums and pay them crazy salaries. Let that be a lesson to the club.

As someone brilliantly put it the other day, there's no chance Sanchez will go to China when he's already on China wages. We'll have to subsidize his wages to get rid. You can't have the highest-paid player sitting on the bench every week.

I'd sell Lukaku too, not because he's a bad signing but because Rashford's better and he's not what we need off the bench.

Sanchez is absolutely finished, it's Rooney all over again without the 10+ years of nostalgia due to good service, we need to be brutal and get rid of him ASAP by whatever means necessary.

Lukaku try and recouperate £40-50m in the summer...

Neither are or will be at the level required.

Forget Rooney. This is peak Torres.
