Where will Alexis Sanchez play for Manchester United... and which of Jose Mourinho's men is going to miss out for the £350,000-a-week star?

Alexis Sanchez will be the first name on Jose Mourinho's teamsheet. Manchester United haven't made the Chilean superstar their highest-paid player on £350,000-a-week for him to warm the bench.

It begs the question where Sanchez will fit into the United XI and which of his team-mates will miss out to make way for the 29-year-old.
