Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho said Alexis Sanchez is a “cheap” signing after his man-of-the-match debut against Yeovil Town in the FA Cup.<\/p>\n

Mourinho’s side beat neighbours and Premier League leaders Manchester City to Sanchez, who arrived from Arsenal in a swap deal involving out-of-favour playmaker Henrikh Mkhitaryan.<\/p>\n

Chile international forward Sanchez showed why United were so desperate to sign him with two assists in Friday’s 4-0 rout of Yeovil.<\/p>\n

“He was cheap wasn’t he? Free transfer! He was free,” Mourinho said with a wry smile. “So for that price he’s fantastic.<\/p>\n

“I think everybody thinks the same in this country. Everyone has to agree that he is a fantastic player and the team that got him has a plus.<\/p>\n

“We have a good group of attacking players you could see today we played with three of them, [Jesse] Lingard was on the bench, [Romelu] Lukaku was on the bench, Zlatan [Ibrahimovic] at home, [Anthony] Martial at home. So we have a good group.<\/p>\n

“His [Sanchez] quality is a plus and his experience is another plus.”<\/p>\n

The Manchester United boss also insisted no one was at fault after Sanchez missed a drugs test\u00a0Monday.<\/p>\n

Authorities were apparently not adequately informed of Sanchez’s whereabouts, though Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said the confusion was purely down to the “special” circumstances of completing his move to United.<\/p>\n

Mourinho said: “I think Arsenal were very honest in the way they approached the situation.<\/p>\n

“We all know we must tell the whereabouts of our players where they are 24 hours per day [clubs have to tell testers if players miss training and the players must give their location for one hour every day]. But I think everyone understands that no-one knew where he was going to be, where he was going to train, where he was going to sleep.<\/p>\n

“It was just a period of transfer so I think it is easily understandable and that was no-one’s mistake and just a consequence of the moment.”<\/p>\n
