Man Utd supporters were left thrilled on Friday night as they reacted to the news that Alexis Sanchez is set to make his debut against Yeovil Town.

The two sides meet in the FA Cup in what the hosts will undoubtedly hope results in a shock upset, but with their January signing straight into the starting line-up, the Red Devils will hope he can make an instant impact.

Sanchez arrived in a swap deal that saw Henrikh Mkhitaryan head in the opposite direction to join Arsenal, with the 29-year-old now set to make his first appearance as a United player.

However, it wasn’t all about the Chilean international, as the Man Utd faithful were delighted to see Michael Carrick make his comeback with Jose Mourinho handing him the captain’s armband on his return.

Nevertheless, all eyes will be on Sanchez for the most part to see how he adapts and settles in with his new teammates, and it’s fair to say that judging from the reaction below, the supporters can’t wait to see him in action…
