Manchester United fans are understandably excited about their latest recruit, and Luke Shaw has further underlined that point by revealing what Alexis Sanchez has been like during training.

The Chilean ace joins Old Trafford with United beating off competition from Manchester City who expressed an interest until pulling out of the deal.

While United lose Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Jose Mourinho's United fold has been boosted with the addition of Sanchez who has been hailed as a 'fantastic' player by his new gaffer.

"I lost a fantastic player, Mr Wenger lost a fantastic player. I got a fantastic player, Mr Wenger got a fantastic player, so it was a great deal for everybody," Mourinho said in his pre-match press conference.

When can the United faithfuls see their fantastic player in action?

Well, Mourinho has included Sanchez in the squad for Friday's FA Cup fourth round tie at Huish Park against Yeovil Town.

And ahead of potentially making his United bow, left-back Shaw has detailed Sanchez's first training session.

Get excited, United fans.

"It was quite surprising at the start because obviously he [Sanchez] wasn't linked with us at all and everything moved really quickly," Shaw told Flow Sports Premier via Metro.

"But really happy, obviously he's a phenomenal player. One of the best in the world, the quality he'll bring to the side will surely boost our attacking threat.

"We've already seen his quality in training and some of the things he's done is a joke," he added.

Needless to say, once United Twitter caught wind of his actions during training, they couldn't contain their excitement.

Here's some reaction:
