Manchester United's FA Cup debutants

It is pretty rare for a Manchester United first-team signing to make his debut in the FA Cup, but Alexis Sanchez has joined the list after being named in the XI at Yeovil Town on Friday.

The Chilean is eligible to start his Reds career in the Emirates-sponsored competition, a trophy he has already lifted with Arsenal, and has been handed a starting spot by Jose Mourinho.

Numerous youngsters have been handed their bow in the famous tournament, with Joel Pereira and Axel Tuanzebe, last year, following in the footsteps of the likes of Joe Riley, Phil Neville, Keith Gillespie and Graeme Hogg.
