Alexis Sanchez will be hoping for a dream Premier League debut for Manchester United when they tackle Tottenham at Wembley - and the new boy had plenty of time to picture how the night might pan out as he waited for his team-mates at their London base.

The Chilean was alone at breakfast, although his Spurs rival Harry Kane was on the television screens over his shoulder, until Ashley Young joined him.

Sanchez probably did not expect to be back in north London so soon but could be seen taking in the view as he looked out of the tall glass windows after replenishing his energy ahead of the Wembley clash.

Manchester United's Alexis Sanchez has been pictured having a bit of a ponder

The Chilean appeared to be in deep thought ahead of his Premier League debut for United

The former Arsenal star sealed a move to Old Trafford last week after switching clubs with former United attacker Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

Sanchez made his United debut in the 4-0 win at Yeovil last Friday but will be keen to impress in his first Premier League appearance.

Spurs are eight points behind United and are facing a fight to get back into the top four but United boss Jose Mourinho has warned his players about the quality of Mauricio Pochettino's side, who were runners-up last season.

The Chilean forward was soon joined at the table by new team-mate Ashley Young

A group of United club officials then wandered over to the table to talk to the players

The Portuguese said: 'Spurs are one of the top teams in the country - not a title contender because they are too far away, but I say honestly they are a Champions League contender. They can reach that level.

'They have some of the best players in the country, a very good manager and are a very difficult opponent.

'It is a really big game. The difference between us and Spurs is seven or eight points, but the reality is they are a top team in terms of their quality and ambitions, and a team of our level, so it is a big match.'
