'Maybe we could kill him' – Stopping Alexis Sanchez calls for drastic measures from Montella

Vincenzo Montella joked that Sevilla's best hope of nullifying Alexis Sanchez on Wednesday will be to "kill" the Manchester United star.

Sevilla host United in their Champions League round of 16 first leg in a tie the Premier League side are favourites for.

The match will likely see Sanchez make his first appearance in the competition for United following his January move from Arsenal, and he appears to have settled in quickly.

Sanchez claimed an assist in United's 2-0 FA Cup defeat of Huddersfield Town on Saturday and has generally looked lively in the majority of his outings since leaving the Gunners.
