Sanchez is guaranteed a hostile reception from Tottenham fans at Wembley on Wednesday evening, when he makes his Premier League debut for the Red Devils, because of his past affilations with Arsenal.
Mourinho says Sanchez, whose £14million-a-year after tax salary makes him the highest paid player in Premier League history, will face the same treatment from fans across the country.
“I think he is probably going to get that kind of reception everywhere, it doesn’t matter about the previous rivalry between Spurs and Arsenal,” Mourinho said.
“I think he will get a little bit of that everywhere.
“I don’t know if it’s true or not true but that story of him being at least one of the top salaries in Premier League football, to change a big club for another big club, this kind of situation attracts a little bit of it, but I don’t think he cares.
“He’s the kind of player, with all his experience, who I think is used to it. Even in South America, I don’t think it’s easy for Chile to play in Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay, so I think these guys grew up with a certain level of experiences. I don’t think it’s a problem for him at all.”
