This was a statement from Alexis Sanchez and Paul Pogba. After struggling to hit the heights this season, Manchester United’s most talented players came to the party when it mattered at Wembley.
The way the misfiring stars combined for United’s equaliser could well be a turning point in their Old Trafford careers.
Just look at how Paul Pogba brushed off Mousa Dembele. It is rare that you see a midfielder of Dembele’s calibre so effortlessly outclassed.
Then Pogba played a sublime ball for Sanchez, who showed superb technique to arch back and cushion his header past Michel Vorm.
