Mourinho has already suggested Alexis will appear against San Jose Earthquakes in Santa Clara, telling MUTV: “When he lands, he has to play, because he trained with us for five days before we departed to LA and we left one fitness coach behind with him. Of course, it is individual training but, when he arrives, he has to play. If he is coming, he has to play.”



Previously, at a press conference in the US, the boss also discussed the Chilean in his plan for the start of the Premier League campaign. “It is important to work with Juan Mata, Alexis and Anthony Martial, who we think are the players we have for the start of the season.”
