The Chilean is one of the best midfielders in world football right now. The 29-year-old has proved his mettle in La Liga with Catalan giants Barcelona, and in Premier League with Arsenal.

He is a technically gifted player with a lot of pace and energy., and is one of the most versatile players in Europe and is a deadly finisher. His work-rate and set piece abilities make him a valuable asset to any top teams.

Sanchez was touted to go to Manchester City, but Manchester United stunned their rivals with an irresistible offer for the Chilean international. Alexis Sánchez signed a four-and-a-half-year deal worth £14m-a-year after tax, which can be equated to approximately £350,000 a week (basic pay, not including image rights and bonuses).

He will wear the famous no.7 jersey at Old Trafford and is expected to make his Manchester United debut as early as Friday when United play Yeovil Town in the fourth round tie of FA Cup. He has scored 80 goals in 165 appearances in all competitions for Arsenal, since joining the Gunners from Barcelona in 2014, and has developed into a world-class player at the Emirates.
