​Man Utd legend Neville advises Mourinho on Alexis position

Manchester United legend turned pundit Gary Neville has advised Jose Mourinho to play Alexis Sanchez on the left-wing in front of Paul Pogba.

Since arriving at Old Trafford, Sanchez hasn't had the desired impact and has so far scored just one goal which was a rebounded penalty against Huddersfield Town.

Mourinho brought in the former Barcelona ace on a deal which sees him earn £500,000-a-week.

"For me, I see Alexis Sanchez as being at his best in the left channel, attacking defenders, committing them, playing one-two combination," Neville told Monday Night Football on Sky Sports earlier this week.

"He has to try and get in those positions for United."
