(Photo) Man Utd Complete Signing Of Arsenal Star; Wenger Blasts Winger For Dumping Club
Published: January 22, 2018
A picture of Arsenal winger Alexis Sanchez wearing a Manchester United jersey with the number seven on the back suggests that his transfer to the Old Trafford outfit is now in the bag.
According to the Telegraph UK, the Chile international will append his signature to a four-and-a-half-year deal and will earn £14m a year after tax.
Gunners manager Arsene Wenger has criticized Sanchez for ending his association with the club, stressing that he did everything in his power to extend the winger's stay but his mind was already made up to depart the London team.
''I cannot understand anybody wanting to leave Arsenal. But in 30 years of doing transfers, you learn a lot about human beings,'' stated Wenger.
''As a professional, it was perhaps his last contract at the top level and an important contract.
''We did what we tried to do and went as far as we could (with money). Even Manchester City moved out of it in the end. That tells you we had no chance to give him a contract.''
Manchester United's Armenia international Henrikh Mkhitaryan has arrived in London to finalize his switch to Arsenal.
