Is it confirmed though or just an assumption?

I post this on the other Alexis thread but I think is more appropriate for this thread as this one is for discussing his possible perfomance.
I hope he gets to play as a second striker or number 10 most of the time. I don't want Martial to loose his spot on the left as he has been doing really good there.
I would like to see this.
Games again easy teams:
I think Lukaku plays really well when he goes toward the right side, and in a 4312 or a 3412 he can do that right side striker role really well. Valencia is enough to bring with on that right side so Lukaku don't have to hog the right line there.

We can beat them without him.
We've got Spurs in the league 6 days after, might as well let him get used to playing with his teammates.
It’s Sanchez not Sanches!
He needs the games. Hasn't played all month, nice to get a game to get accustomed to the team before his premier league debut.
Thanks, it is fix now
Actually is Sánchez
Caf should have an autocorrect
Had a little heart attack that we were signing Renato Sanches there.
Any. Training. Pics.
48 hours!

Announce the training! lol
Here's an artist's impression of what Sanchez training will look like
Impressive photoshop skills, @horsecockerHere's an artist's impression of what Sanchez training will look like
Carrick?Here's an artist's impression of what Sanchez training will look like
Hopefully with his arrival we will improve the tempo of our passing and movement to better cater to his strengths. He wont do well here if we continue to hoof or cross.
He has downed his tools this season for Arsenal. Still, he has some 9 goals apparently, i thought it was more like 3-4 goals.
I am sure he will be firing for us, and I cannot wait to see his debut.
i guess he will bench mata in permanent basis , they both have similar role ( free roam player who don't have specific position, attacking from every side ) but sanchez is superior in every attribute
The only thing that Mata is superior in is his ability to keep possession due to the very risk-averse style he plays when he's on the right wing. Sanchez will lose the ball a lot more so we might be exposed to more counters but we'll be much more direct and hopefully effective with him in the team. I'm not sure he'll play on the right but I'd like to see him there, I love Mata but it is pretty astounding how well we've done this season without having pretty much any cutting edge down the right
since sanchez will lose the ball more, i wonder if mou would go with 3 midfield, pogba matic and herrera/fellaini to give more protection , or go with 3-5-2
either way , mata/lingard will lose their position
What if Mata replaces Lingard? Would it work?
Removes all the mobility in the team
so, what do we think, is he starting against Yeovil? I have him in my line-up prediction just to giddy me up!
Actually, according to his shirt it's Alexis.
I am quite convinced those are Mkhi's gunz.
Now we have the ability by all our forwards to dribble past the opposition at pace. Imagine Sanchez and Valencia on the right flank. Non stop power and pace coming at you.
Never been so excited for a debut.
I'm getting giddy thinking of this guy playing for us. Damn
Happy Sanchez Day (part 2)
Today's the day! 
To many people fixated with him playing on the right. If you watch how Jose sets ups and transitions you will see that his left side is very rigid but the right side (Mata, Lingard and now Sanchez) actually ends up pushing so far inside they play like a second No10. This leaves acres of space for the RB, although it does sometimes isolate the RB which is why you don’t see Valencia charging forward at every opportunity. If Sanchez does in theory look like he’s starting right he will push right in.
To be honest, I really don't think that's a Jose thing. Mata used to drift in even under van Gaal. Lingard always makes a lot of movements, so he'll always pick up spaces to occupy regardless of whether it is central or on the flanks. Mkhi was the same. A good example to prove this would be Rashford. Whenever he is played on the right, he more or less sticks out wide, tries to take on his man and looks for good crossing opportunities either early on or from the bylines. I feel it's a case of individual preferences rather than a strict tactical instruction from Mourinho.
I'd like to see Sanchez start out centrally and drift out wide right with Lingard doing the reverse. Think they'll complement each other pretty well.
Sanchezster day
Yeah fair point, think we will see a lot of Martial, Lingard and Sanchez interchanging.
He is playing, right? None of the drug test talk is meaningful?Sanchezster day
I think he will start. The reason is that the next match is against Spurs and for sure Jose will want to give him minutes with his teammates before Tottenham.
defo playing, not sure if he'll start or get minutes if the bench, but should definitely play
He starts
