Alexis Sanchez plays as a number 7 for Arsenal and Chile

The recent subject of a deadline day tug-of-war between the Manchester giants, Alexis Sanchez has proved he has what it takes to be one of the best players in Premier League. Alexis has a plethora of strengths that definitely support his bid for the number 7 at United.

Dribbling, Long shots, free-kicks, key passes and finishing abilities have helped him amass 30 goals and 10 assists last season, his undisputed best at Arsenal. On his day, the wily Chilean can wreak havoc, terrorising defenders and score world-class goals. After his transfer to Manchester City failed on deadline day, United have the chance to sign the Sanchez in winter, which will be a great coup for their team.

Despite the possibilities, it still remains to be seen whether the fans can see another worthy number 7 dancing down the wings.
