Despite a perfect record in the group stages, thrashing reigning champions Spain 5-1 and making themselves one of the favourites, the Netherlands are coming under scrutiny from their own fans.
Yesterday was a hectic day, with a bid for the player rejected in the morning and then to have him in Manchester signed, sealed and delivered in the afternoon.
Pace and power. Two things that Sanchez has in abundance and two things that United and Arsenal are lacking and looking to add to their squad in this window.
Things aren’t looking good on the transfer front for United and Ed Woodward and there is a double blow in the morning papers which will only frustrate fans further.

A third defender has left Old Trafford and Executive Vice-Chairman Ed Woodward is yet to bring in replacements, although the Luke Shaw deal is believed to be in the pipeline.
