We don’t set up defensively against most team. Sanchez hasn’t played well in awhile and it is only recently against Swansea where his performance has gotten better. I believe it is more to do with getting to play in his preferred position on the left in a free role at the sacrifice of Martial and Rashford. In addition, he is slowly adapting to how the other United players plays and vice versa. Nevertheless, I hope to see more of this type of performance from him.

Exactly this!! Next season will be massive for him!!
Brilliant performance second half. Let's hope he uses that to break out of his shell and show his real level
Brilliant second half. I fully expect to see the absolute best of him next season.
What a great timing to finally show up.
He's getting there. Superb today.

He was amazing in that 2nd half.
MOTM for me today. We wouldn't have had a chance of a comeback without his attacking impetus.
Yeah, he is still adapting to the team. His productivity from wings is awesome.
2 assists and an assist to the assist for Pogba's first. Big game from him today.
What I like the most about Sanchez is even when he's not playing well he's still massively useful due to his sheer work rate and determination to get the ball back. Not to mention he never hides and always shows for the ball even when it's not working for him. Massive player to have, particularly in the big games, and I predict he'll be even better next season with a full rest this summer + preseason.

I thought he played well today, along with Pogba and Herrera he drove our comeback, I was surprised that he was taken off ahead of Lingard.
He is slowly coming into his own. Thank god for the international break.
We have him and Pogba 
The quick burst of pace is still clearly there. He's not particularly quick over long distance but that's always been the case his entire career.
And this is why he should start and Martial should be benched.
He showed in the second half why Mourinho wanted him, there is no way Martial nor Rashford are capable of delivering what he can in top form.
BTW, finally his chip pass ended in an assist. 
He helped create the second goal from the right with his skills and pass, given that we have so much more talent on the left I hope we at least try to play Sanchez on the right occasionally. Maybe even alternate like the days of Nani and Ronaldo. It's just he always cuts in on the left, whereas on the right it's not his favoured side to cut in so makes him mix it up.
Anyhow first time I've seen it with Sanchez in a United shirt. Bit of a shame as I went to take a piss when we scored the first two goals, but not complaining.

Tbf he is very good at that.BTW, finally his chip pass ended in an assist.
Deserves a lot of credit for his playmaking efforts in the second half. For the first goal, his vision to get Herrera was great. The pass for the second goal was a bit under-hit but Pogba finished it brilliantly. The free kick for the third goal was pure magic. He made it more difficult to miss than score.
He showed a lot of passion, ran his heart out and made a difference when it really mattered. For me, he was the man of the match today.

Exactly. Sanchez can turn the game all by himself, he has that unwavering confidence and attitude to keep on going.
He plays it well but was always pretty unlucky with it.
Really wanted him taken off for Rashford after that first half - so glad that he wasn’t! Brilliant performance with a part to play for all 3 goals and ran his heart out.
Not sure what his little “talk” with Smalling was about after the celebrations of the 3rd goal? He looked a bit pissed

I just want to add that he was incredible in that 2nd half. Pogba will get all the plaudits but Sanchez inspired the win. His tenacity to win that free kick, then to spur everyone forward and deliver a perfect ball. What a game.
Absolutely superb.
It reminds me a bit of Rooney and Tevez tbh. Much needed.
His stats need to be changed really.
He has 2 goals and 5 assists.

Yup. 2 really good assists and a lovely pass to Herrera for the first goal.
Great second half.
He wanted it.

Inspired today
Been excellent the last two games and his assists have been invaluable. Still a bit of a question mark of whether his legs have gone slightly for me, but if he delivers like he has then frankly I don't care.
Became a United player today, Pogba's comments about him as well suggests plenty more from those two to come as well
That quick burst of pace for our first goal puts that to bed. Long distance his pace has never been special.
Another player of his ilk to occupy the right flank and the goals will multiply. A world class player (or even a Mahrez type) to occupy the spot held by Lingard, then let Martial/Rashford/Mata/Lingard shadow Sanchez/Lukaku/new winger. Would have perfect cover and lots of competition.
That was nice. I just want to see a bit more of that.
That's the player we bought.
Hate it when that happens. Overjoyed with the goals, but annoyed you missed them.He arrived in Manchester tonight. No pun intended. Pogba kissing his head as he went off said a lot. Basically “You’ve done you’re work today, be proud and let one of the sluggers come on and see it out”. I suspect it was worded slightly different but the same sentiment. A relief to be honest, I’d been worrying over his form but it’s clear he’s still got the quality and his reaction to the sub showed his mentality.
Incredible 2nd half performance.
