Alexis announced as Man of the Match

Alexis Sanchez was voted Manchester United’s Man of the Match by fans on Twitter after a creative and energetic display saw him play a part in the opening two goals in Manchester United’s Emirates FA Cup win at Yeovil Town on Friday.

The Chilean, who joined the club from Arsenal on Monday, had a hand in Marcus Rashford's opener at Huish Park, before providing the assist for Ander Herrera’s goal in the second half, as the Reds cruised to a 4-0 win to reach the FA Cup fifth round.

He picked up a huge 88 per cent of the final vote from supporters for his first performance in a United shirt, ahead of Michael Carrick and Rashford, who both received six per cent to the vote.
