Former United star makes huge claim about Sanchez
Former Manchester United star Wayne Rooney has called new signing Alexis Sanchez as the ‘perfect player’ for the club, and has compared his acquisition to that of Carlos Tevez in 2007.
“For me he’s the perfect player for Manchester United. He’s got aggression, he’s got passion, desire and you can see he’s a winner,” Rooney was quoted as saying to Sky Sports.
“They are the players you want, almost like when (Carlos) Tevez joined United (in 2007)”

“Them players lift the other players and get an extra 10 percent of the players around him. I think Alexis Sanchez will do that.”
Rooney also believes that Sanchez will help ease the pressure on the under-fire Romelu Lukaku.
“I think that’s what Manchester United have lacked, players around Lukaku who are going to push Lukaku on as well and try help him get a bit more freedom and score more goals,” Rooney said.
