Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho praised Alexis Sanchez s effort, but felt the attacker was not suited to the way his side s loss to Tottenham unfolded.
A Christian Eriksen strike after 11 seconds and Phil Jones own goal saw Spurs to a 2-0 win over United at Wembley on Wednesday.
Sanchez, making his first league appearance for United, struggled to have an impact, forced to drop deep during the second half.

Former West Ham and Wales midfielder Jack Collison has announced his retirement from football, aged 27.
Collison made his West Ham debut on New Years Day 2008 and progressed to full international honours later that year.
