Love when Sanchez post pictures of his teammate with "Family" and "Family United" on Instagram.

I thought it was a poor performance against Swansea, goal and defensive recoveries aside.
Agreed. He looked like he forgot how to dribble most of the match.
As I've said before, I think a lot of this is due to how disrupted last year was for him and the fact that he didn't get a proper pre-season. I'm convinced he will explode next season. I do think its worth trying him on the right though.
Besides the work he put in, the defensive recoveries, his goal and assist...you thought he had a poor game?
Really bizarre anybody would think he played poorly in that match.Besides the work he put in, the defensive recoveries, his goal and assist...you thought he had a poor game?
Yes. By his standards, it wasn't a very good game. Offensively, he was lost and gave away the ball quite often.Besides the work he put in, the defensive recoveries, his goal and assist...you thought he had a poor game?
An attacker who doesn’t give the ball away is an attacker that doesn’t take any risks. That is, not someone that wins games.
People are expecting some kind of perfect specimen. People are weird.
I do hope that you're right on this. Strange no one else seemingly sees him through the middle though. I think Sanchez has said he prefers playing from the left or through the middle. With Martial and Rashford showing some serious potential on the left, I'd like to see him through the middle, interchanging with one of Mata/Lingard coming in from the right.
They’re expecting Messi basically. A player who puts in world class performances week in week out without any mistakes. The same often applies to Pogba and Lukaku.
For the most part, things look off rather than a complete cluster. The link-up with others is slightly mistimed rather than they're all outright ignoring each other, or they're not picking up runs early on, or they're running into each other's space. These are wrinkles that can be ironed out over time and the summer should help I think.
It's been improving and we're starting to see some benefits of it, which is obviously much easier to do vs Swansea than, say, Liverpool. City away will be another "just get it done" type of match so I won't care if it's function over form against them.

Probably his best league game for us, But can't help but worry his legs have gone a bit. Reminds me a bit of Falcao in which you can see the ability and some of the things he does is nice, but at times looks like he is running through treacle. Hopefully he builds on his goal and pushes on.
He was very good in the first half, worked extremely hard.
Looked shot by 70 mins though, I think he should be getting subbed by that point and using a fresh Rashford/Martial.
Keeping him on after that is pretty pointless.
the square of Mata/Lingard/Lukaku/Sanchez looks to be forming really nicely though. That first half was 1 of our best for ages.

The bold is very important IMO. All 4 of those players are quick releasers of the ball; they are always moving and don't give defenders time to think. I think it is very clear that Mata/Sanchez/Lingard/Lukaku are all on the same wavelength; they understand the game and think ahead which makes us difficult to defend against.
I thought it was a good performance compared to his last few. I still think we need to hold off any judgments until he has a pre-season. Must be very hard to suddenly get back into being 110% when he has been half-arsing it for so long at Arsenal.
Not really. He can do better than what he's done. He has shown it before. I am not complaining, just saying that there's more and better to come.
Man City 2:3 Man Utd
Welcome to Manchester United, Alexis Sanchez!!! Wow, what a second half he's had.
This is what he's going to do next season !! This second half !! 
amazing performance
He works hard. Probably covers more ground than any player other than Lingard maybe.
He was involved in the 3 goals.
Very good match!
Very good match!
This is the Sanchez I knew from Arsenal. I do not understand why he can’t play like this more often.
An incredible player plays incredible. This isnt news.
Love him.
Love him.
What a player, he was superb in the second half and created all 3 goals. When he is fully comfortable and adapt to this team, his goals and assists would be unreal.
Brilliant 2nd half
Wow. Wow. Wow. He was incredible.
Best match for us. Fought for everything in the 2nd half & contributed to the goals.
2nd half was by far his best performance for us so far. Hope to see more of that.
Great second half from him.
Looked a right player second half. That’s the Alexis we thought we were getting.
Monster second half performance.
Arrived as a United player today. Lets hope he pushes on.
Because we set up the games that way.
On the second half, when everybody was going forward and attacking the box, that's when Alexis is at his best, having plenty options to choose his pass.
Alexis needs players running forward ahead of him, specially fullbacks and midfielders.
But if we set up to play that slow defensive football of the 1st half, no way we will see the best Alexis.
Brilliant. Want to see more of that from him
Getting bettter game by game. He's got the desire, that's the most important thing.
Big half, that is what we wanted from him.
Almost as crucial as Pogba in this win.
Begging his players to attack the space before the Smalling winner.

He has arrived.
The difference between him and mkhi is staggering in a big game
He really pissed me off in the first half with his slipping, it was ridiculous to watch. Great improvement in the second half though.
