Sanchez was a surprise name on the bench as talk of a move to Manchester City intensifies
The 36-year-old former Sweden worldwide suffered a horrific knee injury back in April 2017 in Manchester United's Europa League campaign and despite making an early comeback, he is yet to reach full fitness.
Meanwhile, Manchester United chose to travel to Dubai for warm weather training, but Ibrahimovic, on his part, didn't travel with the squad.
Reports on Thursday suggested that the Red Devils could look to beat Manchester City to the signing of Sanchez and use Mkhitaryan as bait to help reach an agreement with Arsenal.
The Armenian shone for United last season, when given the opportunity, finishing the campaign with 11 goals.
The Armenia forward started this season in fine form but has gone off the boil completely and found game-time hard to come by recently.
And, speaking during a recent interview, Mourinho refused to rule out selling the former Dortmund man in the current transfer window.
When directly asked whether the 28-year-old would stay, he said: "My approach to players is that every player has a price".

United are said to have presented Arsenal with a bigger offer than City, and although Mourinho claims it was not in the club's plans to sign players in January, he acknowledged that fantastic opportunities are worth pursuing whenever they present themselves. I am not the kind of blind manager - blind in the sense that, this player is untouchable, he can never be sold.
'So when the transfer window is open it's also open for any club that is interested in our players. "He consulted our doctors and made the decision to stop".
'I think a club like Manchester United is always striving for the best, ' Smalling told United's official club website.
Thursday's session was United's last at Nad Al Sheba Sports Complex following their arrival on Monday - three days after their FA Cup victory over Derby at Old Trafford.
Also, while mentioning the United's training schedule in Dubai, Mourinho concluded, "It was very good. So Saturday [he is] training, then Sunday [he is] selected and Monday [he will] play".
