Jose Mourinho and Alexis Sanchez arrived back at the Lowry Hotel late on Wednesday night after the Manchester United new boy viewed a £2million mansion earlier in the day.

The United duo are starting to get to know each other a little better off the pitch with the former Arsenal man staying at the five-star hotel temporarily with his beloved dogs Atom and Humber before finding a permanent home.

Sanchez, who completed his move to Old Trafford on Monday evening with Henrikh Mkhitaryan joining Arsenal, took a tour of a five-bedroom mansion on Wednesday in Greater Manchester as he looks to settle in quickly to his new surroundings.

United manager Jose Mourinho was also driven back to the hotel late on Wednesday night

The former Arsenal star, now the Premier League's highest earner on £350,000 a week, took a tour of the plush mansion, which includes a sun terrace and a cinema room, just two days after signing.

One other feature that stands out from the property is the inclusion of a piano room, with a bar. His arrival video at United showed the footballer playing a club chant on the instrument, and he is believed to be a proficient pianist.

There is also vehicle space should he decide to buy the house, with a three-car garage included in the £1,995,000 price.

There is a large garden at the house, which would be perfect for Atom and Humber

Above the garage is a purpose-built gym, and the garden includes a large patio space with a seating area perfect for a summer BBQ or two, when the weather allows. 

Furthermore, Sanchez's potential new pad is situated just down the road from Chile team-mate and Manchester City goalkeeper Claudio Bravo, which could help sway Sanchez to buy the property.

Meanwhile, the 29-year-old forward could make his debut for United in the FA Cup against Yeovil away on Friday night. 

However, if Mourinho decides not to use Sanchez at Huish Park, Sanchez's first appearance in a United shirt could be against Arsenal's north London rivals Tottenham at Wembley on Wednesday night.
