Manchester United have officially confirmed that they have wrapped up a deal for Chile superstar Alexis Sanchez.

The Red Devils have not disclosed the winger's length of contract plus the financial details but reports suggest that he has inked a four-and-a-half-year contract that will keep him at Old Trafford until 2022.

On his move to United, Sanchez said : ''I am thrilled to be joining the biggest club in the world. I have spent three-and-a-half wonderful years at Arsenal and I bring with me very positive memories of that great club and its fans.

''The chance to play in this historic stadium and to work with Jose Mourinho was something I could not turn down.

''I am very proud to be the first Chilean player ever to play for United’s first team and I hope I can show our fans all around the world why the club wanted to bring me here.''

Sanchez scored 80 goals in 166 appearances for Arsenal and helped the club win the Emirates FA Cup twice.
