Alexis Sanchez was back in training on Monday after he was criticised for his performance in Manchester United's draw with Wolves on the weekend.

The Chilean was poor as the Red Devils dropped two points at Old Trafford and was hooked by Jose Mourinho on the hour mark, with Juan Mata coming on to replace him.

Paul Pogba leaped to Sanchez's defence after the game, after he was slammed for his flat display. He said: "What you have to know about Alexis is that he is a hard worker.

"When you play a long time with another team and you play different football in that other team, you have some kind of adaptation that you have to have."

Manchester United play host to Derby in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night.

The game will see Mourinho come up against Frank Lampard, the man he helped turn into one of the world's best midfielders at Chelsea.

"I'm looking forward to seeing him," Lampard said of Mourinho, ahead of the game. "On a personal level, he was a manager who was very influential on my career.

"We've spoken in the last 24 hours to congratulate me but it was very brief but we talked family. I learned a lot from him and I appreciate it."
