Man Utd boss Mourinho praises Alexis performance

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho was delighted with Alexis Sanchez's performance for the win at Bournemouth.

Alexis started for the 2-1 victory.

"You know, the way I like to play is with three attacking players where there is not a clear definition of the winger as a winger," Mourinho said.

"And I like the winger is somebody with a striker or formation or with a striker appetite and I always had that in my team with wingers scoring a lot of goals, sometimes even more goals than the striker.

"So is not impossible at all to have in the same team and at the same time Romelu Lukaku or Alexis, for example. But today Romelu was not available and we thought Alexis could do what he did, he a had a good assist, mobility, he create some problems."
