Jose Mourinho has spoken with delight about the mentality and experience possessed by new no.7 Alexis Sanchez, ahead of Manchester United's trip to face Newcastle United at St James' Park on Sunday. The Chilean struck his first goal for the club during a Man-of-the-Match display in last Saturday's 2-0 home win against Huddersfield Town. During Friday's pre-match press conference at the Aon Training Complex, Mourinho was asked which of Alexis's myriad qualities he particularly liked. The manager responded: "His mentality. I like to have in my team a player that loses the ball in minute 91 and doesn't stop until he recovers that ball – even if he is that tired like he was in the last minute of the last match [against Huddersfield].
