Alexis laid the assist for Lukaku goal and scored on himself before he was been hauled off after 75 minutes and was replaced by Marcus Rashford .Before this game Sanchez last goal for united came in his first game at Old Trafford against Huddersfield Town.
Since when Carlos Carvalhal took charge of Swansea in December Swansea has suffered only 3 defeats,2 in the league and 1 in the FA Cup game against Tottenham but things did not go has planned for him has Lukaku strikes in the 5th minute and they never found there feet in the game again.
United started the game with a farm the tempo looking to score early known that a win for them would take them 2 points above Liverpool who won their game against Crystal palace early today.
Swansea who cold not find a way through the united defence in the first half had to wait until the second half before they could register their first shot on goal.It had to take the effort of Substitute Tammy Abraham who was introduced at the break to force De gea to his first save of the game and getting Swansea first shot of the game. Swansea where the better team in the second half as they tried to get something out of the game .
United fans would be looking to Alexis Sanchez to replicate this sort of a performance when they take on Rival Manchester City in the Derby next weekend at the Etihad Stadium.
