Sanchez Set For United League Debut At Spurs
For all the talk of Manchester City's stellar season, Manchester United have enjoyed an even happier new year with five successive wins plus the sneaky signing of Alexis Sanchez from under their neighbours' noses.Jose Mourinho's team face what promises to be their toughest test of 2018 at Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday, a game where the focus will inevitably fall on Sanchez's league debut after his impressive start in the 4-0 FA Cup win at Yeovil Town.
"Five victories makes a happy camp," said Mourinho, who must decide whether to keep Sanchez on the left or bring back Anthony Martial and fit the Chilean in elsewhere.
"The real headache is when you don't have the good players so when you have so many injuries, you are in trouble," said Mourinho. "When almost everybody is available and the quality is high, these are the good problems."
The manager's most pressing headache may lie in defence where he will seek to stop Harry Kane from adding to his 30 goals this season.
"They have some of the best players in the country, a very good manager and a very difficult opponent," Mourinho said.
Spurs, who lag eight points behind United in fifth place, hope Christian Eriksen will return to bolster their midfield at Wembley.
Premier League leaders City look to protect their 12-point lead at home to a West Bromwich Albion side buoyed by their unexpected 3-2 FA Cup win at Liverpool, Reuters reports.
