He will be a fantastic addition, says Jose

JOSE MOURINHO hailed Alexis Sanchez as a landmark signing after the former Arsenal star took his first steps in a Manchester United shirt. Mourinho watched the Chile international help secure United’s place in the FA Cup fifth round. The United manager said: ‘Alexis is a fantastic addition. He brings maturity and class. ‘I want good players and Alexis is a fantastic player. The questions are which one is going to be out, who will not play. ‘This is emerging as a fantastic g group of attacking players and he is another one with more maturity and experience. ‘These matches are difficult if the attitude is not correct. In the first half they gave us a difficult time, pressing and aggressive on the ball and on the shinpads. I could hear (manager) Darren Way on the touchline, he knew what he was s saying, they were organised.’ Goalscorer Ander Herrera added: ‘We had to work very hard, it’s not easy to come here. T The passion they put in for every ball made it tricky, but we took it very seriously. ‘Alexis Sanchez can play everywhere, he’s fantastic. The attitude he shows, he fights for every ball. He’s a star and it’s amazing to have him with us.’ Forward Jesse Lingard added: ‘Our attitude was spot-on. It was always going to be tough. We adapted well to the ground and all made an impact. ‘The FA Cup is very important. It’s great to win trophies, that’s what we are here for.’
