Alexis wanted more 'world-class players' at Man Utd as Mourinho faces frustrating deadline day

The Chilean forward is among those to have been left disappointed by a lack of transfer activity at Old Trafford during a quiet summer window

Alexis Sanchez admits he was hoping for “more world-class players” to arrive at Manchester United as Jose Mourinho faces up to a frustrating deadline day.

When the Red Devils landed the Chile international in January, his arrival was considered to be quite the coup and a sign of things to come at Old Trafford.

United have, however, struggled to build on that deal, with Mourinho conceding that there may be no more additions on the final day of the summer window.
