Never forget Yeovil's sassy tweet after Alexis Sanchez won MOTM on Man Utd debut in FA Cup

Alexis Sanchez‘s move to Manchester United from Arsenal certainly didn’t work out.

The Chilean – who was absolutely superb in north London – joined the Red Devils in the 2018 January transfer window, with Henrikh Mkhitaryan going in the other direction.

Big things were expected of Sanchez at Old Trafford, especially after he was handed an eye-watering contract reportedly worth around £500,000-a-week.

He did at least contribute nine assists to go with his miniscule tally of goals, with two of them coming on debut in the FA Cup versus Yeovil Town – who were in League One at the time.

Sanchez performed fairly well in his first outing wearing the famous red jersey of United, helping the team achieve a 4-0 victory.

The forward was actually named Man-of-the-Match by Martin Keown on commentary duty for the BBC at Huish Park, a decision that didn’t go down too well with the hosts.

Why do we say that? Well, Yeovil actually posted a rather sassy tweet from their official account in which they labelled the call a “commercially-driven decision”.

The magic of the cup, eh? The Yeovil fans also booed Sanchez in
