Alexis Sanchez’s girlfriend finally moves into the Lowry

Alexis Sanchez may have moved from London to Manchester last month, but he had not been joined by his girlfriend – until now. 

On Thursday afternoon the Manchester United forward was seen moving his partner Mayte Rodriguez into his temporary home at the Lowry hotel. 

Sanchez, who moved to Old Trafford from Arsenal in a swap deal in the winter window, is currently residing in the hotel, as is manager Jose Mourinho.

Sanchez was photographed unpacking two large suitcases from the back of a white Range Rover Sport, as Rodriguez got out of the passenger side door.

When she realised her picture was being taken, Rodriguez – wearing a blue knitted jumper with intricate patters, a leather jacket, leggings and trainers – put on a huge pair of sunglasses for privacy.

She then took on her share of the work, carrying the smaller suitcase while Sanchez – wearing a blue coat, striped top and black jeans – wheeled in the bigger case.

Sanchez has proved a hit in Manchester since moving to United in January from Arsenal, with Henrikh Mkhitaryan going the other way. 

He scored twice on his home Premier League debut against Huddersfield, as he links up in a star-studded attack with Romelu Lukaku, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial.

Sanchez could next be in action in United’s weekend FA Cup clash with Huddersfield, before they face Sevilla in the Champions League next week.
