'Do you expect him to be happy with these players?!' - Mourinho defends Alexis frustrations

Jose Mourinho has defended Alexis Sanchez after he cut a frustrated figure in Manchester United's loss to Liverpool.

United slipped to a 4-1 defeat to their north west rivals in the International Champions Cup, meaning they are still without a win inside 90 minutes on their tour of the US.

Alexis was one of the few senior players on show for United, with a number of their star names still absent as they return from post-World Cup holidays.

Romelu Lukaku and Marcus Rashford are among those who are yet to join up with the squad, and with Anthony Martial having also left the tour to attend the birth of his child, Alexis is the only senior forward left with the team.
