United have struggled to find a top talent to take his No.7 shirt, with Memphis Depay and Angel Di Maria failing to impress. But journalist Duncan Castles think the club are onto a winner with Sanchez who joined last week from Arsenal. He thinks manager Jose Mourinho will use the Chilean in a similar way to how he coached Ronaldo while in charge at Madrid. "I think Mourinho is going to use him (Sanchez) in much the same way he used Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid," Castles said on the latest episode of The Transfer Window Podcast. "Make him a focal point of the attack and allow him a freedom to play the position he would like to play against particular opponents and use his skills to build the rest of the attack off. "I think that's the way things are going to go with him." Castles also claimed Ronaldo expects to leave the Bernabeu this summer - with a move to United a possibility. "As far as he's concerned, he's been informed by the club that they will sell him in the summer and that he is allowed to talk to suitors," he added. "If you look at what's been happening in the press in Spain there's been a lot of reporting that Madrid want him out. "There's also been lots of reporting that the door was closed to him at Manchester United, as a result of the Alexis Sanchez signing and the great play made of Alexis Sanchez being given the No.7 shirt. "I think you'll see something from United saying that's not the case and that the door remains open to him there.
