Yeh, because Valencia's been crap, well-deserving of being dropped.Him on the right, Nani on the left and Rooney in the centre would be
Alexis Sanchez | Udinese: No Deal Yet

Well..we could always ''Lampardize'' or ''Cahillize'' Valencia.....
ha ha I know that's bullshit
As good as Valencia is, he's not a match winner. He's in the same guise as park, which is nothing to be ashamed about. Two very good backup wingers, that can still take on most teams and win. But like Nani and Rooney, Sanchez seems to have that little bit extra.
Rooney needs Valencia or he's not as potent a "match winner." Who assisted most of his headed goals?You don't pay 18mil for a backup winger. He will stick to the right, while Nani get used to the left. Thats about it. If there is any backup, it would be Park and Joe Cole if he signs. The transfer fund would be better spend on a creative midfielder as we are seriously lacking in that dept
Would be a silly signing due to our surplus of wingers.
We have a surplus of wingers?
Looking forward to watching this kid today. His first contribution was a few step overs and a dive.
We have Nani, Valencia, Park, Obertan and Cleverley so you could say we have a surplus but you could also say it's lacking in talent. (realised talent, that is.)
Well, based on watching him for 20mins i can say he's a very good player.
Sanchez > Ronaldo.
In all seriousness though, he looks a very good player.

I never said he was. I was simply pointing out that whilst we have a number of wingers most of them are young 'n' learnin'.
Seems like a very good dribbler but sometimes he could release the ball quicker.A good player no doubt
Tim Vickery has been calling him "the real deal" for the last 3-4 years, and when he mentions a player, I generally take notice, so I've been keeping track of his progress, particularly with the national team in World Cup qualifiers.
He can play comfortably on both the left and the right, and even centrally as the second striker.
This is really the golden generation of Chilean players, and the only worry would be that most of those who were picked up by European clubs haven't exactly made the most of that opportunity, as yet. Fernandez, Vidal and Sanchez are three of the players who were quickly picked up by European clubs, and they're yet to really establish themselves as important players, although all three are still in their early twenties, so there is plenty of time.
That's the sort of thing that comes with experience though. I've never seen this kid play before and he's really really impressed me.
He's what Walcott could be if he had any semblance of ball control.
Fast
Skillful
A bit greedy
Goes down easily/dives
Wouldnt bet against him scoring in the second half.

Sounds familiar.
Looked like a Nani clone to me. Good player.
sounds very familiar
Same for me.I like dribblers like him but I don't like when they keep the ball too long.
He's a 19/20 year old Ronaldo. Good player (based on 48 minutes).
Looks a class act.
Still, I can't see us going for another winger. We have three first team players competing for two spots on the wings, and an emerging talent in Obertan that Ferguson is easing into the side. I'd expect to see more appearances from Obertan next year for sure. As for Cleverly, I thought he was more of a central player...?
I'm only watching the game with one eye but he does seem to mix it up with some decent one and two touch play. Works his ass off too. Interesting player.
I think i've only seen him play once (in a friendly for United) and he played wide left i think. I'm not too sure though.
it was against valencia, he scored too, cleverly looks to have a bright future.... but this sanchez player looks pretty dirty
He's primarily a winger at present, which is where he's played for Leicester, Watford, England u21s etc. He may move into a more central position later in his career but for now it is best to regard him as a wide player.
Cleverly has almost exclusively operated on the right hand side in the U18's and reserves, and then at Watford on loan. However, I'm not convinced that it will be his eventual position, and I wouldn't be surprised if he did end up becoming a central midfielder.
A player with his energy, work rate, vision, and eye for goal, can certainly operate from a wide position, but it can be even more effective from a central position.
As to your other point, I wouldn't see a problem with having four fairly young and talented attacking players in Nani, Valencia, Obertan, and then someone like Sanchez, with Park as an experienced "utility" type player who can play right across the midfield.
Great great close control and technique, great turns with the ball at his feet..
Reminds me exactly of how Ronaldo was at his early days at United ( course Ronaldo is a totally different type of player now!)....

Sanchez looks quality... I doubt United will sign him (will cost a bomb) but it looks like hes going to turn out to be a great player
Where's Giggs ? He was our best LW at the start of last season ?
Absolutely love what I see of this guy more and more as the game goes on..(besides the cheating tendencies of course)
So we're signing Ozil and Sanchez this Summer then. Sorted.
He needs to cut down on the cheating.
His intelligence worries me. At times he is a mixture of Nani and Lennon on a frustrating day.
Will be a star
i thought he was a very creative player but cant shoot to save his life, very tricky and reminds me of a early Ronaldo and he tried to play his team mates in alot of the time
Honduras double up on Sanchez whenever he gets the ball.
He looks very agile and fast, but doesn't have much end product, maybe "loves the ball" a bit too much....
...he probably could be moulded in a very good/great winger but I don't think United need him at the moment...
