4. Sanchez runs riot against Newcastle

Manchester United did a great piece of business bringing Alexis Sanchez to Old Trafford for the small price of an unwanted and disgruntled Henrikh Mkhitaryan. Sanchez got his first goal for the Red Devils last weekend in a 2-0 win against Huddersfield. The goal was a rebound from his own missed penalty, but still, they all count.

This weekend, Jose Mourinho’s side travel to Newcastle in another game United should win easily. The Magpies have been known to play up against the big teams at St. James’ Park, but this might be a step to far. With Sanchez off the mark, this could be the first match he really dominates for his new club.

The Chilean developed a habit of scoring world-class goals during his time at Arsenal, usually after cutting off the left wing onto his right foot. He’s still getting accustomed to his new teammates, but Sanchez’s willingness to get on the ball and try things mean he’s always a threat. Newcastle should be vary wary when they face United and Sanchez on Sunday.
