Alexis Sanchez is reported to have been slammed with a 16-month prison sentence for committing tax fraud during his time at Barcelona.
Manchester United eased into the fifth round of the FA Cup as Alexis Sanchez helped Jose Mourinho’sRed Devils to a 4-0 win at Yeovil on Friday night.
Despite a spirited Yeovil display, Marcus Rashford capitalised on poor defending to give United a first-half lead before Sanchez teed up Ander Herrera to make the game safe after the break, with Jesse Lingard and Romelu Lukaku netting late on.
All eyes were on former Arsenal star Sanchez at Huish Park as he made his United debut against Yeovil, but it was Darren Way’s League Two side who made the better start of the two teams.
Mourinho’s defence was put under early pressure, with Sergio Romero – in for David De Gea – looking a little shaky in goal.
As Arsenal fans will know, Sanchez struggled with his passing as he hit a few wayward cross-field balls out of play to spark joyful chants of “What a waste of money!” from the Yeovil fans.
But while Sanchez was not at his best on his first outing as United’s new number seven, he had a part to play in both of United’s goals.
Rashford initially played a one-two with Alexis which the Yeovil defence should have cut out, but Tom James dallied when he should have cleared and allowed the young England striker to nip in and finish from close range four minutes before the break.
Sanchez signed for Manchester United on Monday and has been tipped to make his much-expected debut on Friday night when United face Yeovil Town in the FA Cup.

Manchester United have announced the signing of Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal in a deal that sees midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan move in the opposite direction.
Arsenal forward, Alexis Sanchez has reportedly passed his medical on Sunday evening prior to his proposed switch to Manchester United.
Sanchez has finally completed a transfer from Arsenal to Premier League rivals, Manchester United, according to reports from Carrington.
The Chilean star has effectively sealed a January transfer to Old Trafford after he underwent a successful medical at Carrington.
He has reportedly reached an agreement over terms on a highly lucrative four-and-a-half-year deal with the Mancunians.
According to Enisports, Reports have suggested that the contract will see the South American attacking sensation take a weekly salary of around £450,000.
And that will in the process make Sanchez the highest earning player ever in the history of British football.
United boss, Jose Mourinho had hinted at an imminent deal on his side’s part for the former Barcelona star.
The Portuguese gaffer had revealed that the Red Devils are still keen on thrashing out a deal for the attacker.
But the Chilean international has traveled down to the North-West to finalize terms with the Mancunians.
And that is prior to a proposed exchange deal that will see attacking midfielder, Henrikh Mkhitaryan go the opposite side.
A formal announcement is not likely to be in public light until Monday because the two men are non-EU players.
And they will need their respective new teams to ratify each of their work permits before any official confirmation.
