Manchester United defender Phil Jones has claimed that team-mate Alexis Sánchez will have an extra incentive to beat Arsenal this weekend.

The Red Devils host Arsène Wenger’s side at Old Trafford on Sunday, the Chile international coming up against his former club for the first time since leaving in January.

And the England international believes that, with the game being at home, the striker won’t feel any undue pressure but will be desperate to get one over on his old pals.

Asked if it will be strange for Sánchez to face his former team, Jones said: “Not so much at home,” he told the Sun.

“If it was away at the Emirates, it might be a bit different. Going back to a place where he’s very fond of, knows the pitch well and the fans well.

“So, at home, it’s a little bit different, but he’ll still get that added incentive to try to put one over on them.”
