Alexis Sanchez arrives training along with team-mates to prepare for Premier League debut

Alexis Sanchez got a true taste of the Manchester weather as he arrived at United's Carrington training ground in the pouring rain ahead of first Premier League appearance for the club.


The Chilean, who is likely to start Wednesday's game against Tottenham at Wembley Stadium, waved for the cameras as he drove his Bentley Continental into training, and was soon followed by his team-mates.

Jose Mourinho was, as per usual, driven in by his chauffeur while Michael Carrick, Marcos Rojo, Sergio Romero and Daley Blind were also pictured making their own way in ahead of Monday's session.

It may have come as a surprise to see Sanchez and Mourinho arrive separately as both are currently presided in the Lowry in Salford. Since his move from Arsenal, Sanchez has sought temporary accommodation in the five-star hotel while Mourinho is in permanent residence.  

Regardless, they both arrive safely at the Aeon Complex where they will undertake training ahead of travelling to Sanchez's old stomping ground, north London, to take on his former club's rivals in a heavyweight Premier League clash.

The 29-year-old will be looking to build on his thoroughly impressive debut on Friday, where he earned a man-of-the-match award after providing an assist in United's 4-0 FA Cup win over Yeovil.
