Jose Mourinho says Manchester United won't see the best of Alexis Sanchez until next season, but we expect better than this.
This was a night when Sanchez could have risen above the mediocrity of his first two months at Old Trafford. A night for the highest-paid player in the Premier League to put in a big performance on the big stage.
Instead, he largely disappeared, lost amid Mourinho's muddled plan and the inadequacies of his team-mates.
How United got it so badly wrong will take some figuring out, but no-one was more disappointing on the night than Sanchez.
