Manchester United finalised Alexis Sanchez’s transfer on Monday with the Chile international penning a four-and-a-half-year deal.

Henrikh Mkitaryan departed in the other direction for Arsenal, freeing up a space on the right flank of United’s attack.

However, Jose Mourinho has revealed he is not certain where Sanchez will be slotted into his squad.

And the Old Trafford boss has admitted the former Barcelona man can play in four different positions - as a winger on either side, as a striker and a No 10.

When asked where he would play, Mourinho replied: “Everywhere, in the attacking positions. 

“I know him for many many years, I was with him in Italy at Udinese, in Spain, when he was at Barcelona, in England, when he was at Arsenal.

“Our careers are almost made in the same countries simultaneously, so I know him very, very well.

“I saw him play on the right, on the left, as a striker and behind the striker, these are Alexis’ positions.

“I saw him play different tactical systems, different philosophies of different managers.

“I saw him successful in every country with every manager and every position so he’s a player that becomes more than a player.

“Because of that motivation he can play in four different positions.”

However, one thing Mourinho was certain of was that Sanchez would be in the squad for tomorrow night’s FA Cup clash with Yeovil.

When asked if the Chilean would be in the squad he confirmed he would and added: “We go with a very strong team.

“We want to win, we know what cups are. United played I think a couple of years ago at Yeovil and they know the difficulties they felt, so we have to go with a very strong team.

“We are going to rest a couple of players, we have also a couple with little problems.

“We want to try to resolve to have them without problems for the next matches coming in February, Premier League and also Champions League, but apart from that we go with a very strong team.”
