Alexis Sanchez stepped up his preparations for Manchester United 's FA Cup clash against Yeovil when he checked in for training on Thursday.

The Chile star is in line to make his debut for the Red Devils in the fourth round tie at Huish Park following his move to Old Trafford.

Sanchez met his new team-mates for the first time on Wednesday and could go straight into the matchday squad to face the Glovers.

Jose Mourinho has confirmed he will take Sanchez to Somerset, but he may have to bide his time on the bench before entering the fray.

"You know, because he's been in England for quite a long time, I think everybody knows the player he is," he said.

"I think everybody knows what he did at Arsenal. I try not to speak what he did before in Spain and Italy, but in the Premier League he's shown the quality he has.

"We got one of the best attacking players in the world and he's very important for us because we ant the best possible players."

Meanwhile, Sanchez has clarified his comments regarding his conversation with Thierry Henry on departing Arsenal.

In an initial message to Gunners fans, Sanchez wrote: “I remember today, a conversation I had with Henry, a historic Arsenal player, who changed club for the same reason and today is my turn."

Gunners supporters hit out at Henry on social media after the message , calling the Sky Sports pundit - who left Arsenal for Barcelona in 2007, only to briefly return on a short-term deal - "a snake".

But tweeting on Wednesday, Sanchez clarified his comments.

"I want to clarify that Henry never told me to leave the club, it was a personal decision," he wrote.
