Can Emirates return spark Sanchez revival?

Alexis Sanchez returns to the Emirates with Manchester United today recovered from injury and in happier mood since the departure of Jose Mourinho, but still with an awful lot to do if he wants to persuade critics his career is not in terminal decline.

There’s a certain irony that Sanchez, who is expected to be included in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s squad after shaking off a hamstring problem, is hoping the FA Cup can turn his fortunes around after a flaccid year at Old Trafford since a swap deal with Henrikh Mkhitaryan last January.
