Alexis Sanchez’s experience and quality will add a new dimension to Manchester United’s attack said manager Jose Mourinho.<\/p>\n
The Chile international, 29, set up two goals on his debut for his new team in a 4-0 FA Cup fourth-round win over Yeovil.<\/p>\n
“He is a fantastic addition,” Mourinho told BBC Sport.<\/p>\n
“His choice for the second goal is a choice that a player like Marcus Rashford is too nervous to make.”<\/p>\n
He added: “Alexis brings maturity and class.”<\/p>\n
Sanchez signed for United on Monday\u00a0with Henrikh Mkhitaryan heading in the opposite direction to Arsenal.<\/p>\n
With Zlatan Ibrahimovic acting as back-up to\u00a0\u00a375m summer signing\u00a0Romelu Lukaku in the central role, Sanchez is expected to compete with the likes of 20-year-old Rashford, Anthony Martial, Jesse Lingard and Juan Mata for a role just behind.<\/p>\n
Sanchez had a hand in his team’s first two goals in the win at Huish Park, bundling the ball towards Rashford for the opener before slipping a well-weighted pass into the path of Ander Herrera for the Spaniard to drill home.<\/p>\n
Mourinho insisted that his squad would be galvanised by the increased competition.<\/p>\n
“Good players want good players,” he added.<\/p>\n
“The question is always which one is going to be left out, it is not about that for us.”<\/p>\n
