Jose Mourinho is confident Manchester United won't require any further attacking reinforcements after the signing of Alexis Sanchez.

The Chilean forward joined from Arsenal in a swap deal with Henrikh Mkhitaryan last month, meaning United have plenty of options going forward.

Sanchez scored his first goal for United in Saturday's 2-0 home win over Huddersfield Town, tucking home the rebound after his penalty had been saved.

Mourinho wants Sanchez to play in various positions across United's front line, further supporting the argument that no further attacking buys will be needed this summer.

United have been linked with the likes of Gareth Bale and Antoine Griezmann in recent windows, but Mourinho insists they will focus on other areas.

'Exactly, that is the point, that is the objective,' said Mourinho.

'We have only one No 9 - there is also Zlatan [Ibrahimovic] but let's forget Zlatan for the moment - and from having only one No 9, now we have more No 9s.

'We have Alexis, we have [Romelu] Lukaku, we have [Anthony] Martial, we have [Marcus] Rashford. Rashford can play on the left or on the right. Alexis is exactly the same.

'All of them, apart from Lukaku, can play from behind as a second striker, that's why I say it is bad for you. You like to have things to write and things to speculate, especially in the summer.

'But I don't want attacking players, so don't speak about attacking players that are coming here because nobody is coming here.

'We have [Juan] Mata, Lukaku, Rashford, Martial and Alexis. I don't want [any more] attacking players.

'For speculation in the summer, you have to go to other areas. Attacking players, I am really happy with.

'We have to improve, not in the quality of the players, but in the dynamic of the team and the efficiency. Even against Huddersfield is a game to score more goals than two.'

Having dropped Paul Pogba following a touchline argument with the Frenchman during last Wednesday's 2-0 loss at Tottenham, Mourinho saw United pass up plenty of chances before Lukaku gave them a 55th-minute lead.

Sanchez then won the penalty, scoring at the second time of asking, to open his account for United.

Pogba, who was replaced in the midfield by young Scott McTominay, did eventually come on for Jesse Lingard with 25 minutes remaining.

'You saw the reaction - coming to the pitch with a great desire to play,' added Mourinho.

'To be honest, at half-time he was all ready. I can analyse body language. He was showing he was ready, with the physio and starting his warm-up.

'He showed the way he took it in a very professional way.'

United travel to Newcastle United in their next Premier League fixture this Sunday.
