AXED? Mourinho to dump Alexis for Rashford in Man Utd FA Cup semi

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho is set to drop Alexis Sanchez for their FA Cup semifinal against Tottenham.

The Sun says Sanchez is facing Wembley heartbreak after Marcus Rashford played his way into tomorrow's team for Wembley.

Rashford was excellent in United's 2-0 victory at Bournemouth on Wednesday.

Only Paul Pogba's performance stopped the 20-year-old England international from getting star-billing and the BT Man of the Match.

Sanchez, on £505,000-a-week, was one of those dumped to the bench as an unused substitute — and that is where he is likely to stay against Tottenham tomorrow. It would be hugely disappointing for Rashford if, after Mourinho publicly stated that places were up for grabs, he did not now get one.
