3 players who could leave Manchester United in January

#1 Alexis Sanchez

Alexis Sanchez could leave United within a year of signing for them.

Alexis Sanchez was Arsenal's best player for long but last season he expressed a desire to leave the Emirates in search of trophies.

It was a straight tussle between the two Manchester clubs to get the services of the Chilean. Sanchez's previous stint with Barcelona made Pep Guardiola and Manchester City the favorites to sign him.

However, Arsene Wenger wanted a player of similar profile in exchange of Sanchez, and with United agreeing to sell Henrikh Mkhitaryan, it became a straight swap between the two clubs in January 2018.

Since Sanchez has moved to Old Trafford, his situation has been frustrating. The former Arsenal man has tried everything so far at United, but nothing seems to click for him.

Sanchez has looked a mere shadow of the player he was at Arsenal. He is reportedly finding it hard to get going with the Red Devils and could move somewhere else in January to get his form back.

About the author

A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.

Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.

Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.

The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.

I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
