Roma coach Mourinho: Alexis wasn't suited to English football

Roma coach Jose Mourinho has discussed Alexis Sanchez's difficulties at Manchester United.

Alexis is now impressing with Inter Milan.

“I spoke with him before the start of the game," Mourinho told ESPN Chile.

“In England, he was not in his natural habitat. Here at Inter he is happy and where he belongs."

Alexis scored in Inter's Coppa Italia win against Roma this week and Mourinho added: “It was a great goal and it changed the direction of the game, but there was a foul in midfield at the beginning of the move and the referee should've checked it on VAR."
