Man United defender Axel Tuanzebe pockets Arsenal Alexis Sanchez and sets twitter on fire

Axel Tuanzebe:

Manchester United defender Axel Tuanzebe made his Premier League debut and it was one to remember, coming out the undisputed winner in his personal duel with Alexis Sanchez.


Everyone that watched the game, including both his teammates and fans, were quick to notice that Sanchez, one of Arsenal's better players this season under Arsene Wenger, was unable to escape the Rochdale lad's pocket for the 90 minutes.

Jose Mourinho was far from the only to praise one of the latest academy graduates, with fans taking to social media in their droves in an attempt to get the word "pocket" and "pocketed" to trend.

Here are some of the tweets:

We already have a replacement for Smalling and/or Jones. One with more brain cells than both combined; Tuanzebe.

The only bright spot today was Tuanzebe, 19 years old old & kept Sanchez as quiet as a mouse, some performance from "kid number 2" #future
