At the Old Trafford, the attacker inherited the famous 7 jersey and became one of the club's highest earners, going home with a reported £500,000 per week.
To whom much is given, much is expected. The massive privileges that the winger enjoyed also came with a lot of expectations. Sanchez was brought in to make Manchester United's attack stronger but the Chilean never really achieved that during the campaign.
He could only manage 3 goals and 3 assists in 18 appearances for the Red Devils, therefore, falling below the expectations.
The 29-year-old also endured a negative experience with his national team. After failing to secure a spot for his nation in the World Cup, the Chilean will not be featuring in the prestigious tournament when it kicks off in Russia next month.

Unsurprisingly, Lionel Messi is his favorite player and is the one true GOAT for him over Cristiano Ronaldo. The 2022 FIFA World Cup final, where Messi's brace led to La Albiceleste lifting the cup left a lasting impact on him. His love for Messi also sees him follow Major League Soccer apart from Europe’s top five leagues.
